It depends on the look you want to achieve. Darker floors can add depth and contrast, making a space feel cozy, while lighter floors create an airy, open feel. Balance is key. Consider natural light, room size, and overall design style to reach your decision.

In most cases, flooring should be installed before kitchen cabinets , especially for floating floors, to allow for natural expansion and contraction. However, with nailed or glued-down flooring, cabinets can go first. Come visit us  to discuss the best approach for your project.

Creaking floors are usually caused by wood movement due to temperature or humidity changes, loose floorboards, or subfloor issues. Proper wood flooring  installation, secure fastenings, and using quality materials can help minimize noise and ensure long-lasting stability.

The best floor finish depends on durability, maintenance, and aesthetics. Polyurethane provides strong protection for hardwood, while matte finishes reduce visible scratches. For tiles , glazed or sealed finishes enhance longevity.

Floor height changes may be legal but must comply with building codes, especially in commercial spaces with accessibility requirements. Significant rises should be addressed with proper transitions to ensure safety. Always check local regulations before modifying floor levels.
