			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hardwood floors have long been a tradition for home flooring. Sturdy yet elegant, they are used for a variety of rooms in the home. They blend in well with wood-based furniture and are easy to clean and maintain. Hardwood flooring comes in many different shapes, widths and types of fabrication. Here are some of the choices where hardwood planks or parquet floors add a touch of classic elegance to a room’s decor.</p>
<p><strong>Home Office</strong></p>
<p>Always compatible with office furniture and computer equipment, <a href="http://www.armstrong.com/flooring/products/hardwood/armstrong">hardwood floors</a> provide a professional look for the home office. Chairs roll easily on hardwood floors without damage. This provides versatility for someone moving quickly from the work desk to the printer and back again. An area rug can be placed under couches or chairs to distinguish the waiting area from the work area. It makes for a quick clean-up with either a vacuum cleaner or a broom when clients are coming to visit.</p>
<p><strong>Hallway and Foyer</strong></p>
<p>Hardwood floors make a smooth transition from the front door to the living room, kitchen and den. Choose dark or light tones to complement the hallway walls and foyer entrance. They wear well, and exotic woods can add a modern and elegant look to welcome guests into the home. Coordinate artwork and picture frames on the walls to pull together wood accents. Wooden curio cabinets and tables in the entryways throughout the home help to create a clean design.</p>
<p><strong>Bedroom</strong></p>
<p>Use wood floors for a grown-up atmosphere for the adult or teenager&#8217;s room. The width of the planks can accommodate a modern or more antique feel to the bedroom. Use wide planks for a Colonial look or thinner strips for a more trendy and stylish decor in smaller rooms. Choose darker colors to coordinate with cherry or walnut furniture and doors. Blond woods complement white furniture, window treatments and wall coverings. They help a compact room appear larger.</p>
<p><strong>Living Room</strong></p>
<p>Consider parquet wood flooring for a large living room where guests are frequently entertained. Its sturdy base is a durable pairing for heavy furniture and foot traffic. It also works well in rooms where acoustics are important for pianos, stereo sound systems and family entertainment. Area rugs can be scattered throughout the living room to break it up into different areas when gathering with friends at a party or get-together.</p>
<p>Regardless of the type of decor a person chooses for their home, plank or parquet hardwood flooring can provide a special finishing touch to the room&#8217;s design for a personal accent of style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flooring Oak flooring has been standard equipment in the United States for years, and not without reason. Oak is an attractive, durable and versatile enough to use in almost any room. Both the red oak and white oak are popular choices hardwood floors, but what are the differences between them, exactly? Is one variety better suited to the dining room? What&#8217;s bedroom? Do a variety of more durable than others?</p>
<p>The following article examines both the red and white oak flooring oak flooring in four major categories &#8211; strength and durability, appearance, traffic service and maintenance &#8211; and compares the results from the side of the page. If you have a project, which includes oak floors, and you can not decide between red or white, include the following information before making a decision. You&#8217;ll be glad that it did not.</p>
<p><strong>Strength and durability </strong></p>
<p>Strength and durability depends on two main factors: Janka hardness and density. Janka hardness rating is a measure of how resistant a piece of hardwood is the indentation. Janka hardness is measured in pounds, and the higher the rating, the stronger the wood. Density is a measure of how much wood is actually packed in a cubic meter. The combination of hardness and density can say, the effectiveness of various hardwood species for up to everyday wear and tear.</p>
<p>Janka hardness rating of red oak is 1.2900 kg and a density of 780 kg/m3. In white oak, the hardness is 1.360 kg and a density of 900 kg/m3. While both varieties definitely live up to the name of &#8220;hard&#8221;, white is definitely the stronger of the two oaks.White oak flooring will be more heavy-duty furniture and heavy pedestrian traffic, but only slightly. If the strength and durability is not a serious problem for you, or varieties of hardwood will work very well.</p>
<p><strong>Appearance </strong></p>
<p>For most owners, the appearance of a hardwood floor is very important. Both red and white are close, complex patterns of grain and light, warm shades. red oak is usually equipped with a more reddish-brown heartwood and a warm, glowing tones, and features white contrasting shades of pale and dark grains. Red Oak is a bit more colorful, so if you are looking for greater choice of flooring exotic appearance, red oak is the best. If a system designed for a more neutral, versatile floor, it would be wise to choose white.</p>
<p><strong>Movement in Service </strong></p>
<p>The change applies to services provided deciduous species is likely to reduce or enlarge during transport or after installation. It is measured in the tangential and radial contraction and expressed as a percentage. The lower the value, the less likely the wood shrinks. Also the smaller the difference between tangential and radial shrinkage, the less likely the floor will bend over time.</p>
<p>Tangential and radial contraction of the red oak flooring is 8.6% and 4.0%, respectively. For white oak flooring, the numbers are 7.2% and 4.2%.Note that not only white oak tangential shrinkage is much smaller than red oak, white oak, but the difference is smaller. This means that in a similar environment, white oak to resist buckling, bending and warping better than red oak.</p>
<p><strong>Maintenance </strong></p>
<p>Maintenance requirements, both red and white oak flooring oak flooring is practically the same. If treated with high-quality sealant or stain, both varieties will be quite well to wear and require little maintenance. Sweeping and not used regularly will help keep the floor looking good, and sometimes renewal should bring them back to their original splendor. If you do not have marching band practice at home every day, both red oak and white oak will retain its beauty for many years.</p>
<p>Red oak flooring and white oak floors are both great opportunities for the owners &#8211; they will increase the value of your home by adding air of elegance and sophistication. As far as what is the best wood, white oak, rather the result of slightly higher in terms of strength and movement in service. However, these two species are very similar and the final decision is usually based on the aesthetic factor. Whatever species you choose, you can be sure that investing in strong, attractive hardwood floor that you will use for many years.</p>
<p>Flooring Oak flooring has been standard equipment in the United States  for years, and not without reason. Oak is an attractive, durable and  versatile enough to use in almost any room. Both the red oak and white  oak are popular choices <a href="http://www.armstrong.com/flooring/products/hardwood/armstrong" target="_blank">hardwood floors</a>, but what are the differences  between them, exactly? Is one variety better suited to the dining  room? What’s bedroom? Do a variety of more durable than others?</p>
