6 HARDWOOD DESIGN DETAILS TO CONSIDER Board-to-board color variation The normal color variations found in natural hardwoods differ from species to species. It is part of the inherent beauty of wood flooring. Least indicates the most consistent choices. Most indicates the collections where the greatest board-to-board color variations are found. Gloss level Do you prefer a formal high gloss or a more casual low gloss? The choice is entirely a matter of taste. The gloss level does not affect the durability or performance of your floor. Surface texture Least More Most Color over time Wood is a natural material that reacts to ambient light. For example, select exotic woods gain richness in color once exposed to sunlight and will become darker and more uniform over time. Others may lighten after exposure to sunlight. The most dramatic changes occur within the first six months following installation. Those species most prone to color changes are indicated in the Armstrong Product Guide. As a natural wood product, your hardwood floors will have individual characteristics of color, grain and texture. Some Armstrong Hardwood Floors have a deeply textured, rustic surface, while others use subtler hand sculpting for an old-world look. Some use exclusive staining and distressing techniques for the look of aged, weathered hardwood. Others are designed to have a satin-smooth surface.
