There’s a reason hardwood flooring has remained a staple in luxury homes for centuries. It's the perfect blend of elegance, longevity, and natural beauty. At Luxor Floors, we’re helping homeowners in Burlingame, San Mateo, and beyond embrace hardwood in fresh, modern ways—whether you’re preserving the charm of a classic home or designing a contemporary space from scratch.
Why Hardwood Still Rules
Hardwood doesn’t chase trends—it defines them. The organic grains, the rich tones, the ability to evolve with sanding and refinishing—hardwood is as adaptable as it is striking.
It’s also a true long-term investment. Properly maintained hardwood floors can last generations, increasing property value and appeal.
Hardwood Types That Suit Every Style
-
Oak: Durable and traditional with visible grain
-
Maple: Smooth and contemporary
-
Hickory: Distinctive character and resilience
-
Walnut: Deep, rich tones for luxury appeal
Engineered vs. Solid Hardwood
In our climate, engineered hardwood has become especially popular. It handles fluctuations in humidity better than solid hardwood, making it ideal for homes near the coast in Foster City or Millbrae.
With a top veneer of real wood, engineered planks offer the beauty of solid hardwood with added dimensional stability.
