Wood Flooring Styles
Strip Flooring
Strip flooring is linear flooring that is usually 1-1/2", 2-1/4" or 3-1/4" wide. It creates a linear effect in a room, often promoting the illusion of a larger space.

Plank flooring is also linear, however it is wider in width. Common widths of plank flooring are 3", 4", 5", and 6". Plank flooring is often preferred for a more traditional or country decor.
