What does the width of a hardwood floor mean?
Hardwood flooring is commonly described by board width: Strips are less than three inches wide. Planks are three inches or wider.
The width of individual boards has a dramatic influence on the installed look of the floor. Wide widths can complement a large room, but overwhelm a small area. Select the look you like best and that harmonizes with the style and architecture of your home.
