Crafted using both exotic and domestic tree species, hardwood floors bring forth many appealing choices. One general rule of thumb: each hardwood species offers a different level of hardness, so it pays to do your research and make the smartest decision for your respective space.
Solid hardwood and engineered hardwood are hard to tell apart at first glance, but there are many critical distinctions.
Solid hardwood flooring, which is made from single, solid pieces of hardwood, is the original hardwood format. Many prefer solid hardwood because it can be refinished repeatedly, giving it incredible staying power. Solid hardwood does have its limits and is best reserved for quiet, dry spaces with careful climate control since it is moisture prone.
Engineered hardwood floors, a modern take on a beloved classic, consists of up to seven layers of natural woods and resins. A denser product, engineered hardwood is sturdier, can handle some moisture, and can even be installed below grade. Engineered hardwood floors also tend to be more affordable.
Hardwood floors, particularly solid hardwood, are not recommended for kitchens and bathrooms. For households with pets or little kids, engineered hardwood floors are a smarter option. For optimal results, our onsite flooring experts can guide you toward your best hardwood options, based on your space, budget, and needs.
