Refinished wood floors provide warmth, beauty and the perception of space. They are even nice in a kitchen and provide continuity in the entire house. Red and white oak floors affect the stain color, so determine what kind you have before selecting your stain.
Engineered wood floors are very easy to install especially if they are a glueless installation. Most engineered wood will work well in a basement. We prefer them to ceramic tile. The glueless variety are especially easy to install as shown below.
When you move a wall, you'll leave a gap in the wood floors. This can be repaired without installing an entirely new floor. The repaired section should blend perfectly with the remaining refinished floor. No one should be able to tell the difference. If they do, you have defeated your purpose.
