I Floor

One determining factor in the appearance of a wood floor is the width of the flooring to be installed. Flooring is typically put into two basic categories: strip and plank. Strip flooring is typically 2 1/4 in width, though any plank less than 3 in width is a strip floor, and will give a room far more variance. The use of strip flooring tends to make rooms feel bigger and more formal. Flooring which is 3 or wider is referred as plank flooring. Planks tend to provide a more comfortable, sometimes country feel and are very popular with exotic species.
