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

The only difference is whatever you think looks better.

I agree. The relief milling on the back of properly made flooring does
a pretty good job of limiting cupping.

Now, if we're talking 3" vs. 12"... 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.

I have 4" Red Oak flooring and it seems to cup more than the
I3" flooring. But my Mom has 'random' width oak flooring,
not sure if it is red or white, 3 - 5 inch that has stayed dead flat.

The difference I think is that mine is over an unheated crawlspace,
hers is over a heated basement.

I have 4" maple flooring in my house for 2 years, and I haven't had any
problems with it.
