1. The Rich Fumed Hardwood Flooring

For every kind of wood flooring, there is a need for staining to give it the desired finish. Hardwood floor companies in Des Peres MO do not use any sort of staining for the rich color of fumed hardwood flooring, and instead, put the wood through a process known as fuming. The wood is placed in a chamber where airborne ammonia is released. A change in the color occurs when the wood reacts with the ammonia. A number of factors affect the final result of this reaction. So, the resulting hues can vary even for two similar pieces of wood. Usually, rich dark tones and natural grain texture can be achieved by fuming.

2. Blanched Woods Is A Choice

Such flooring involves the wood undergoing bleaching process, which is known as blanching. The outcome of this flooring type is breathtaking and can be best used for living rooms. It gives a very sophisticated look to the space.
