Hardwood Flooring In Houston, TX
Shans Carpet & Fine Flooring

For centuries, hardwood flooring has been one of the most popular options for home flooring. It’s a versatile solution with tons of style variation – every individual plank of hardwood flooring is a unique piece of nature, and they change over time with age and wear.
This gives every room designed with hardwood floors its own character and charm that will last for decades with the proper care.
Hardwood flooring styles are as varied as the wood species from which they’re made. Each species has its own unique natural characteristics, such as variations in knotholes, wood grains and mineral streaks. Some species are lighter, and others darker.
A few common species include:
| Light Woods | Dark Woods |
| Maple | Cherry |
| Oak | Walnut |
| Bamboo | Mahogany |
| Pine | Hickory |
