Echoing & Clicking Hardwood Floors
When you think about hardwood floors one of the complaints that people have is that the floors make noise when you are walking around. This can come from your shoes as you walk around the house. This noise is something that you want to be able to have a solution to. The great thing is that if talk to the installer and let them know that you want to lessen the sound they have some options when the installation occurs.

This will dull some of the sound that often comes when people are walking through the house.
