3 inches VS. 4 inches wide Hardwood Flooring
Hi,
Any opinion on 3 VS. 4 inches wide Hardwood Flooring? The 4 inch is little more expensive and I heard from none woodworker it looks better. I try to put some Brazilian Cherry and I can get 3 inches wide any time while 4 inches are special order. Wider wood would cupp more and shrink more than narrower, but is there any concern for Harwood floor and 1 inch difference? Thanks MaxEN |

G I guess another difference would be *slightly* less installation as the 4" would cover more. But not really enough difference to factor into the decision. |
