Best Hardwood Floor Options for Outdoor Space

Summer is here and it’s time to start thinking about renovations! With the warmer weather, we’ll be spending more and more time outside, so why not make sure the outside of your home is as attractive as the inside? The installation of hardwood floors in outdoor space, like a deck or patio, is a great way to add beauty to your home. Since stone and tile are expensive, and can be hard to repair if damaged, installing hardwood floors outside can actually be a great flooring option for your outdoor living space. Check out the best wood species for outdoor spaces below:

Tigerwood

This wood type is great at hiding stains, and is strong and insect/termite resistant. With colors ranging from a darker red to reddish brown, this flooring brings a unique look to any home.

Redwood

This wood is generally the choice most homeowners use for outdoor living space. It is resistant to shrinking, cracking, warping, as well as insects, which makes it ideal for outside. It also does not require a lot of maintenance, so you won’t have to worry much in the winter months with snow or rain. 

Cedar

This is a very durable wood, and colors range from amber to reddish brown. It is also resistant to decay and insects, making it great for the outdoors.

Mahogany

Mahogany is also a very strong wood species, and is often used for porch or deck flooring for homes in rainy and humid areas.
