Hardwood Flooring Accessories
The right hardwood flooring accessories can extend the service life of your floor while enhancing its functionality. Explore these common hardwood flooring accessories:
Underlayment
Underlayment helps extend the service life of your boards by acting as a buffer between your subfloor and hardwood floor, effectively reducing wear and tear. Underlayment offers cushioning for added comfort and can provide sound and thermal insulation while protecting wood from water damage. There are various kinds of underlayment, including options that are compatible with underfloor heating, allowing you to choose an option that meets your needs.
Scotia Molding
To ensure that dirt and debris do not accumulate in the gap between your hardwood flooring and the wall, technicians install scotia molding or scotia trim. You can color-match this trim with your flooring to create a neat border around your room that seamlessly blends with your floors.
Transition Strips
Transition strips help make the transition from one flooring surface to another as smooth as possible. While T-molding and flush transition strips work well to bridge gaps between surfaces of the same height, reducer and threshold strips smooth out transitions from thicker to thinner flooring.
Floor Vents
Accurately control the temperature in your home by installing floor vents to regulate airflow. Floor vents come in a range of materials, such as wood or metal, and various designs to complement your interior style.
Furniture Pads
Apply furniture pads to the legs of chairs, tables and other furniture to safeguard your new flooring from unsightly scratches and damage. Furniture pads help distribute the weight of furniture evenly and protect your flooring.
