Why choose HARDWOOD FLOORING ?

There is rarely a floor more classic and elegant than hardwood flooring. Both natural and beautiful, the choices available today are vast and the options can be overwhelming. Particularly when you consider that wood isn’t just wood. When considering hardwood flooring the type, the species and the areas that you’re putting it need to be considered.

The choice between solid hardwood and engineered wood will often come down your needs regarding stability, durability and the area you want it installed. Hardwood might be the perfect fit for your basement but you can’t put solid wood down there. Conversely, you may be hesitant to install any wood product in your kitchen but engineered wood will likely stand up to any potential interaction with water.

SOLID OR ENGINEERED?

SOLID
Wood

It’s all in the name. Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood from top to bottom that most often comes in a 3/4″ thickness and ranges anywhere from 5″ to 11″ wide. It’s most commonly produced as a pre-finished product and can be sanded down and refinished more time than an engineered wood product. Solid hardwood is never recommended for bathrooms, basements or other areas where moisture is likely to accumulate but can, depending on its seal, withstand a small amount of moisture. Solid hardwood is a great option for those looking for a long-term floor but who are also good with having a different product in the areas where solid wood just isn’t suitable.

ENGINEERED
WOOD

Conversely, engineered wood is a layered product. Thin pieces of plywood are cross-grained, adhered together and topped with a piece of hardwood. Identical in appearance to a solid product, it’s thickness starts at 3/8″ and width starts at 5″. Engineered’s surface layer is thinner than a solid but, due to the fact that it is a constructed product, engineered wood does have more durability in areas that are more prone to moisture. It can be sanded down and refinished but again, because of the thin top layer, this can only be done minimal amount of times.
