As Asheville locals, we know how important it is to balance that cozy, warm aesthetic with the functionality required of our busy households. We also, know that designing your home starts from the ground up! That’s why, at Carpet One Floor & Home of Asheville, we bring the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains directly into your North Carolina homes with a wide selection of hardwood flooring options catered to every aesthetic and lifestyle.
Hardwood floors orchestrate a seamless blend with your home's design while providing an enduring choice that withstands Asheville's seasonal changes. Explore our guide on hardwood and discover the perfect style for your Asheville home.
Imagine coming home from a scenic hike up Craggy Gardens, a paddleboarding adventure on the French Broad River, or an afternoon exploring the Biltmore Estate—your hardwood floors are there to welcome you with their warmth and charm. Hardwood flooring isn’t just a stunning addition to your home, though—it’s built for the Asheville lifestyle. Here’s why:
Not all hardwood is designed the same. In Asheville, homeowners often debate between solid and engineered hardwood. Let's delve into the unique benefits of each—because in the end, they're both hardwood, and they both add significant value and timeless aesthetic to your home.
Asheville's humid weather can pose challenges to hardwood floors. Engineered hardwood, made from layers of pressed hardwoods and resins, offers a solution—it's resistant to shrinkage or expansion when exposed to moisture or humidity. This makes it an excellent choice for basements and kitchens. Plus, it's more affordable and handles heavy foot-traffic exceptionally well.
Solid hardwood is the traditional gold standard. It's a single, solid piece of wood known for its longevity, ability to be refinished multiple times, and unmatched capacity to add value and beauty to your home. Perfect for above-level spaces that don't see a lot of moisture, it can be installed in bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas.
Hardwood flooring is a design statement that reflects your style and the way you live. Whether you’re channeling the cozy charm of a Blue Ridge cabin, the artsy vibes of the River Arts District, or the timeless elegance of a Biltmore-inspired residence, Asheville Carpet One Floor & Home has the perfect hardwood style for you. Check out these custom options:
Various hardwood species lend themselves differently to your home.
From durability to color variations, the hardwood species you choose should fit your lifestyle just as much as your home’s style. Here's a list of favorites (and how they differ) from our fellow Asheville homeowners:
Hardwood floors are a long-term investment in your home, and proper installation is key to keeping them beautiful and durable for years to come.
While DIY projects can be tempting, hardwood installation is not the place to cut corners. Hardwood needs to be expertly acclimated, laid with precision, and secured properly to prevent long-term damage. North Carolina’s fluctuating humidity levels can cause wood to expand and contract, leading to warping, cupping, or gaps if not installed correctly. That’s why professional flooring installation is essential.
At Asheville Carpet One Floor & Home, our team has the experience, tools, and know-how to get the job done right the first time.
From ensuring your hardwood is properly acclimated to performing moisture testing on your subfloor, we take every step necessary to protect your investment. Our installers are trained to secure hardwood using the best method for its type—whether it’s nail-down, glue-down, or floating installation—so your floors stay stable and stunning for years to come.
Plus, with The Beautiful Guarantee, you can rest easy knowing that if you’re not 100% satisfied with your new floors, we’ll replace them for free. When you choose professional hardwood installation with us, you’re not just getting expert craftsmanship—you’re getting peace of mind.
Hardwood floors may be durable, but they still need a little TLC—especially when you’re living the Asheville lifestyle! Whether you’re trekking the trails at Craggy Gardens, splashing in the French Broad River, or enjoying a snowy winter day at Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, it’s easy to track dirt, mud, or even a little mountain slush into your home. The good news? With regular maintenance, your hardwood floors will stay just as stunning as the day they were installed.
Here are a few simple ways to keep them looking their best:
