Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood: Which Type Is Best For Me?

In general, a new hardwood floor is a beautiful enhancement for any room. Plus, hardwoods always add value to any space, with an excellent return on investment (ROI). Finally, hardwood flooring is milled and finished using techniques that require much lower maintenance than in years past, bringing about character and longevity. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your hardwood, specifically whether you will require engineered or solid flooring. Here’s a closer look at these two types of flooring.

Solid Hardwood

When our customers think about hardwood, they usually refer to solid hardwood first. This type of flooring is known for its timeless look, its natural aesthetic, and its overall ROI.

Keep in mind the following when considering solid hardwood:

• Solid hardwood features simple construction and can be refinished multiple times.
• Solid hardwood is durable enough to handle medium traffic in hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms
• This type of wood may warp and shift over time due to humidity and changes in temperature.

Engineered Hardwood

Often when we introduce engineered hardwood to customers, they usually have never heard of it, or have mistaken it for laminate. Today, homeowners tend to lean more towards engineered hardwood floors. Engineered hardwood is made with a modern construction which is 3 to 7 layers of wood veneers pressed together cross-grain with a piece of premium hardwood as the top layer.

Keep in mind the following when considering engineered hardwood:

• Thanks to its multiple layers, engineered hardwood resists warping or shifting with changes in temperature or humidity.

• While engineered hardwood can also be refinished, be sure to check with your flooring expert.

Where Can My Hardwood Flooring Be Installed?

When it comes to hardwood flooring, we suggest first considering the area of your project. Is it a high humidity area or prone to moisture and heavy traffic? Do you have pets and little children who may scratch or stain your flooring? If yes, you may want to consider our engineered hardwood and waterproof flooring options.

In general, most hardwood flooring can be installed above grade in the following areas:

• Living Rooms
• Bedrooms
• Hallways & Entryways

When it comes to the installation of your hardwood, keep in mind the following:

• Long before your installation crew arrives, it’s essential to start preparing for your hardwood installation. This includes the removal of old flooring, debris, and adhesives.

• A clean and level subfloor is ideal; an unstable foundation will lead to a floor that wears out before its time.

• Hardwood flooring requires a professional installation as a warranty coverage condition in most cases, so it’s important to plan accordingly.
