Which wood species is right for me?

Choosing the right species of wood flooring for you is strictly a matter of your style, budget and personal preference. More than 60 domestic and imported species of wood flooring are available to achieve a unique look. Check our before & after  gallery >>> http://www.floorsandingsussex.org.uk/gallery
Do you like light woods like ash or maple? These species generally make a room appear more open and airy.
Do you like medium woods like hickory or oak? These species generally make a room appear more warm and cozy.
Do you like dark woods like walnut or mahogany? These species generally make a room appear more stately and refined.
 
Imported species can offer even more color options. 
Once you decide on a look, you should consider how your floors will be used. Are you a retired couple living alone, or a busy family with young children and pets? Each wood species is rated for its hardness and durability using something called a Janka scale.
