Want a floor you’ll adore for years to come? Wide plank hardwood flooring could be for you. The extra width and length of those boards really serves to show off the pure elegance and distinctiveness of your coveted new hardwood floor.

With wide plank wood flooring, there are far fewer seams. Which not only provides you with tremendous visual appeal, it also makes it easier to tie those hardwood planks in with the rest of your room. Plus, this kind of real wood flooring works well whether your spaces are traditional or tend to be more modern. To top it all off, the best hardwood floors will actually increase the overall value of your home.

Just like the proverbial trees in the forest, there are a number of solid hardwood flooring manufacturers out there. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at just three: Anderson hardwood, Shaw hardwood, and Armstrong wood flooring.

Why Anderson hardwood floors get a clear-cut ‘A.’

Predominantly offering engineered hardwood, Anderson wood floors were forged on a legacy of craftsmanship by utilizing only materials of the utmost quality. The Anderson engineered hardwood collection offers a wide range of species, surface textures, and hues to choose from.

Tree types include maple flooring, hickory flooring, white oak flooring, and many others. Surprisingly enough, there are even double-digit offerings of pecan that come courtesy of Anderson hardwood.

Random lengths, bevel edge profiles, and heavily scraped surfaces are all hallmarks of Anderson Tuftex. Select styles conveniently offer superior resistance to scuffs and abrasions thanks to a feature called Luster-Lock Ultra Finish.

For top-notch quality, consider Shaw hardwood flooring.

For more than half a century now, Shaw wood flooring has created exceptional quality and products designed with you in mind. Whether you’re hoping for a rustic look or something more modern, the Shaw Hardwood Collection has an answer for your every need.

Choose from species like solid hickory flooring, maple hardwood flooring, white oak hardwood flooring, and more. And feel free to add to that list with walnut, red oak, birch, and betula.

If you want your floors to look new longer, choose a Shaw hardwood that comes complete with their proprietary ScufResistant Platinum finish. You can also enjoy other thoughtful features such as silky-smooth surface textures, plus pillowed edges and ends that do indeed create a very sculpted effect.

Another strong contender: Armstrong hardwood flooring.

Available in both engineered hardwood and solid wood flooring, Armstrong hardwood brings you a compelling combination of natural beauty and durability. This highly popular brand of natural wood flooring looks stunning and is easy to maintain and easy to have installed.

Key species include a number of varieties of hickory, maple, white oak, and red oak hardwood flooring. Colors span the gamut from a light white oak hardwood flooring all the way to a hand scraped hickory flooring that’s almost an ebony.

Speaking of hand scraped, Armstrong carries an entire collection aptly called American Scrape because it features hardwood that is sourced 90% from right here in the United States. This exquisite wood plank flooring provides carefully hand-scraped textures topped with a lifetime urethane finish.
