Question from Denise
Hello I am replacing carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. I have MCS and I am real sensitive. It seems as months go by I am getting more and more sensitive. Anyway I am not sure on which wood flooring to choose. I am looking at solid unfinished wood flooring that I will nail down. But theres a few to choose from. If anyone has any experience in wood flooring that would be great. I have a few choices from oak, red oak, maple, souhtern yellow pine, new england white pine, and hickory. I am so sensitive I am just afraid the wood might smell.
Thanks

We’ve already discussed wood flooring a lot on this blog, but i see you are asking specifically about the type of wood, not the type of flooring.
If you are MCS, you’ll want to choose a wood that has fewer resins, thus less odor. Like you wouldn’t want trees known for their scent, such as pine, cedar, etc. Oak is generally fine.
Readers, what is your experience with different woods you like?
