What Are the Different Hardwood Types?

In general, there are two different types of hardwood to choose from: solid hardwood and engineered hardwood floors. Both look and feel very much the same, but significant differences are going on below. Which one you choose will depend significantly on your area of installation and your household needs.

Solid Hardwood Flooring

• A solid hardwood plank uses a single hunk of natural wood.
• Solid hardwood floors represent a sound investment, but it’s worthwhile for many since it can be refinished.
• Keep in mind that solid hardwoods should never be installed in areas with high moisture or high foot traffic.

Engineered Hardwood Flooring

As a more recent innovation, engineered hardwoods are manufactured planks that are dense and forgiving.

• Made from up to seven layers of compressed wood, engineered planks can manage heavier wear and a fair degree of moisture.
• Unlike solid hardwood floors, it works well below grade and can be installed in basements.
• Engineered hardwood is more water-resistant and durable, and it is more resistant to cupping, expanding, and contracting.

Hardwood Installation

When it comes to instaling your hardwood flooring, ew always suggest hiring a professional. This way, you have peace of mind and you can enjoy your floors for decades.

Our Hardwood Installation Process

• Be sure to prepare your area of installation: remove all furniture and appliances.
• Keep in mind that your hardwood flooring will arrive 24-48 hours prior to installation. This will allow the hardwood planks to properly acclimate to the climate in your home.
• We will help customers prepare for the installation by clearing the room.
• Depending on the installation, we can either nail, glue, float or staple your floor down.

Where Can My Hardwoods Be Installed?

• Hardwood floors are not an appropriate choice for the kitchen or bathroom.
• Solid hardwood performs best in carefully climate-controlled rooms, with particular care paid to relative humidity levels.
• Engineered hardwood is the recommended option if you own pets or have little kids at home.
