Why Choose Hardwood for Your Rhode Island Home?

Types of Hardwood Flooring Available at Ruggieri Carpet One

So, now that you're dreaming about gorgeous hardwood floors in your Cranston home, let’s talk about the two main types you’ll find at Ruggieri Carpet One Floor & Home—because choosing the right one can make all the difference for your space (and your sanity)!

 

Engineered Hardwood

If your life in Cranston looks a little like wet boots by the door in winter and sandy flip-flops in summer, engineered hardwood could be your new best friend. Made with multiple layers of composite wood and topped with a real hardwood veneer, engineered hardwood is built to handle moisture, humidity, and all those temperature swings we know so well.

 

Solid Hardwood

If you’re dreaming of that classic, all-wood luxury—maybe for your serene bedroom retreat or a formal dining room where you host Thanksgiving dinners—solid hardwood delivers big on timeless beauty. Just remember, it does best in cozy, dry areas where humidity isn’t a daily battle. Many options can be refinished, so solid hardwood lasts through generations of family memories.

 

No matter which type you choose, both engineered and solid hardwood bring warmth, character, and unbeatable charm to your home.

Keeping Hardwood’s Charm with Easy Floor Care Tips

Between family picnics at Meshanticut Park, beach days at Oakland Beach, and just daily life (hello, dirty sports gear and snack-time spills!), it’s no surprise that our hardwood floors in Cranston see plenty of action! But the good news is that a little regular care goes a long way in keeping them looking stunning year after year.

 

Here are a few expert care tips from your friends at Ruggieri Carpet One Floor & Home:

 

  1. Mind the Humidity: Rhode Island’s weather keeps things interesting, but your hardwood floors prefer a little more consistency. Aim to keep your home’s humidity levels between 30% and 50% to help prevent the wood from expanding or shrinking.
  2. Sweep or Dust Daily: Giving your floors a quick sweep or dust mop each day helps prevent scratches and keeps them shining bright.
  3. Use the Right Cleaner: When your floors need a deeper refresh, reach for a warranty-safe hardwood cleaner. It gently lifts dirt without damaging the beautiful finish you love.
  4. Wipe Up Spills ASAP: Life in Cranston moves fast—and so should your cleanup! Blot spills quickly with a soft, dry cloth to avoid water spots or stains.
  5. Add Area Rugs and Mats: Protect your floors in high-traffic spots (and add a little extra style!) by layering cozy rugs and placing mats at doorways. It’s a simple way to keep dirt at bay and show off your personal taste.
  6. Trim Those Pet Nails: We all adore our furry family members! Keeping their nails trimmed helps protect your hardwood from little scratches while keeping your pets comfy, too.
