When it comes to choosing your hardwood flooring, we understand the options can seem endless. However, the first question to ask yourself is which space you plan to install your flooring in. Will you require a flooring option that can handle high humidity, or are you looking for the natural imperfections of solid hardwood? Either choice adds value and timeless beauty to any interior. And while both engineered and solid hardwood options are similar in look and design, they have their differences! Here’s a closer look at the two different types of hardwood flooring offered on the market today, solid and engineered.
Solid hardwood flooring:
Is made using single, solid hunks of natural wood
Can be refinished repeatedly and last for generations if managed carefully
Requires a consistent climate and cannot be installed below grade
Engineered hardwood flooring:
Is manufactured using multiple layers of dense woods
Is more forgiving and significantly more affordable
Can handle more humidity and heavy traffic
Depending on the variety of hardwood, you can easily enhance your space with hardwood, depending on the species and the type. When installing your hardwoods, consider the following:
Solid hardwood flooring is best enjoyed in quiet, dry spaces where the relative humidity level remains consistent.
Hardwood is suitable for living rooms and bedrooms
For households with pets and kids, we recommend choosing an engineered hardwood product.
Did you know? We also have waterproof hardwood flooring! Extend your hardwood flooring into high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms for a modern look.
We always recommend hiring a professional to install your new hardwood floors. Keep in mind the following during your hardwood flooring install.
Preparation: Our team will prepare your subfloor by removing the old flooring, and we'll make sure the subfloor is dry and flat.
Installation: We nail each hardwood plank to the subfloor for a permanent bond. We usually leave about a three-eighths" gap along the edges of the room because wood tends to expand over time.
Guarantee: Once your hardwood planks are installed, we'll check the surface to make sure there aren't any gaps, and we always guarantee you’ll love your floors.
Did you know? We offer professional installation services and specific warranties for most of our flooring products.
