A home for sale in the US features hardwood flooring as one of its major elements.
The eight-year-old colonial-style residence in Gaithersburg, Maryland, has dark-stained maple hardwood flooring throughout its main level, the Gazette.net reports.
With the home being owned by an interior designer and offering an open-plan layout, this aspect may stand out, suggesting that others seeking to install hardwood floors may do likewise.
The ground floor comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, accent lighting and columned recesses.
Other flooring elements in the home include a second floor containing sleeping quarters that has "wall-to-wall carpeting in all but the small front bedroom", with this part of the house also including bathrooms, a toilet and a linen cupboard.
One US company to introduce a new hardwood flooring product this month was Cikel America.
Its even-ply Cabo hardwood core flooring range comes in five species - two types of Amendola plus Ipe, Brazilian Cherry and Tigerwood.
