What is Engineered Hardwood?

Both engineered and solid hardwood options are similar in look and design, but they do 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 is made using single, solid hunks of natural wood. It can be refinished repeatedly and last for generations if managed carefully. Your solid hardwood floor requires a consistent climate and cannot be installed below grade.

• Engineered hardwood is manufactured using multiple layers of dense wood. With added reinforcements, engineered hardwood floors are more forgiving and significantly more affordable. They can handle more humidity and heavy traffic and can even go below grade. Got pets? Engineered hardwood tends to be more resistant to scratches from roaming puppy paws.

Where Can I Install A Hardwood Floor?

You can easily enhance your space with hardwood, depending on the species and the type.

Solid hardwood flooring is best enjoyed in quiet, dry spaces where the relative humidity level remains consistent. Hardwood floors are overall suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, home offices, meeting rooms, and other gathering spots. For households with pets and kids, we recommend choosing an engineered hardwood product.

We also have waterproof hardwood flooring! Extend your hardwood flooring into high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms for a modern look.

Why Choose Professional Hardwood Installation?

We recommend hiring a professional to install your new hardwood floors.

Keep in mind the following during your hardwood flooring installation.

• 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.

We offer professional installation services and specific warranties for most of our flooring products.
