Faster installation

Because wide plank flooring takes up more space, it’s quicker to install than narrow plank flooring. It takes a lot less time to fill a room with 5″ wide floors than 3″ wide floors. Because of this, you’ll have a faster installation and will be able to move into your space sooner.

Creates space

When you install wide plank floors in a room, the room looks larger. The flooring gives the room an open and airy look, which makes it look bigger. This is a great way to add space to your room without actually adding more square footage.

Cost efficient

Wide plank flooring comes in a variety of options, which gives it a variety of price points. When you choose this type of flooring, you’ll be able to find flooring that fits not only your style, but your budget, too.

More natural

Because the boards of this flooring are wider, they tend to show more of the natural wood. This means you’ll have more knots and imperfections in the wood. We think this is a great thing because it makes the wood look more natural. It also gives the space a unique feel that can’t be replicated anywhere else. For a truly one-of-a-kind floor, wide plank flooring is the way to go.

For some, these natural features can be a drawback. However, when you buy engineered wide plank hardwood floor from PurezaWood, you can choose a higher grading. This means there will be fewer imperfections and knots in the wood.

What are the drawbacks?

The main drawback of wide plank flooring is that it doesn’t handle changes in humidity as well as narrow planks do. However, by using engineered wide plank hardwood flooring, you can help prevent these issues. Engineered flooring is specifically designed to withstand humidity better and can expand and contract more than standard solid hardwood floors can.

Which one is better?
