Hardwood flooring, depending on the form in which they come, can be applied virtually anywhere with either glue or nails. Nailing, as I understand it, refers to the actual installation of real hardwood flooring; there is, of course, the imitation hardwood flooring that comes in the form of linoleum or tiles.





Your main concern--or I should say--question should be about whether you really want the real hardwood flooring or the imitation that is just as good and without the burden of having to maintain it.





So, with that in mind, call your local flooring contractors and get their advice, and have them show you what kind of hardwood flooring products they have. These estimates/consultations should be free, of course. Rely on concrete estimates, as that's the only productive way of going about finding exactly what you want at a price that is acceptable for you (you don't want the price to fluctuate).





To save yourself some time, here's a link to a handyman site that I was referred to long ago, which has a section dedicated to flooring, where you'll find a text-link ad that offers up to four (4) Free estimates from local flooring contractors in your area (scroll down a bit, the text-link for the free estimates/quotes is towards the middle of the page that says, ';Find Flooring Contractors.

Take advantage of the free estimates, as that's the smartest way to go about approaching exactly what type of hardwood flooring you want and for what price. Trust me, I've been there.





Good luck!
