Elegant and Timeless Hardwood
The popularity of a wood floor is because of one thing — its warmth! Wood is as cozy as it is practical. Wood never goes out of style. Wood lasts a long time which makes it an excellent investment. Today there are more wood flooring fashions than ever before. At last count there were over 1,000 species of wood, cork, and bamboo floors available to you.

Hardwood Floor Care
Once your new floor is installed, you will want to prevent scratches. Some scratches can be caused by dust. You can prevent scratches with the use of mats or rugs. Buy a good quality broom and sweep your new floor regularly to pick up grains of dirt and other particles.
Hardwood floors with a urethane finish should never be waxed. They require cleaners that will not leave a film or residue.
Most manufacturers provide warranties for their hardwood. They also provide Care instructions. It is also a good idea to purchase a wood cleaning kit. Abbey Carpet Design Center has installed hardwood floors for many of our clients in Northern Virginia including Leesburg, Sterling, Ashburn, Middleburg, Lansdowne, Purcellville, Chantilly, Great Falls, McLean, Reston, and Herndon.
