Engineered hardwood flooring offers a sophisticated and inviting aesthetic to any home. This flooring, crafted from genuine wood, comes in a range of wood species, stain colors, plank widths, and finishes to suit your personal style. Engineered hardwood is a durable flooring option that can be installed in any room of the house, even on lower levels and over concrete subfloors. Despite having the same elegant appearance as solid wood flooring, engineered hardwood can be a more practical and cost-effective choice in terms of durability.

Engineered hardwood is known for its long-lasting finish, which is achieved through a pre-finished, factory-applied durable coating. This results in a thicker, more robust surface that can withstand heavy use. Additionally, engineered hardwood is versatile enough to be installed in areas where solid hardwood cannot, such as basements, concrete subfloors, and even over radiant heating systems.
Engineered hardwood is low-maintenance and easy to clean, with just sweeping and light mopping being sufficient in removing dirt, dust, and pet hair. This makes it a great option for homes with high foot traffic and busy lifestyles.
Solid wood flooring is made entirely of solid wood, typically a hardwood species like oak, maple, or walnut. This type of flooring has the ability to be sanded down and refinished several times during its lifespan.
Engineered wood flooring resembles solid wood in appearance, but it consists of a thin layer of hardwood bonded to a base of high-quality plywood. It is a more affordable option compared to solid hardwood, though it may be refinished only once. The decision between the two types of wood flooring ultimately depends on your personal preference for the benefits each offers.
Solid hardwood flooring is made of single planks of hardwood, usually oak, maple, or walnut, that interlock with each other to form a stable surface. This type of flooring is known for its durability and longevity, as it can be sanded down and refinished multiple times. However, installation of solid wood flooring requires a certain level of skill and is typically done by nailing the planks to the subfloor.
On the other hand, engineered wood flooring provides a similar look to solid hardwood, but it is constructed with a thin layer of hardwood that is bonded to a high-quality plywood base. Engineered wood flooring is less expensive and easier for DIY installation, and is also known for its stability and durability, with a lifespan of 25-30 years.
Solid hardwood flooring is a type of flooring that is made entirely of solid wood, typically a hardwood species such as oak, maple, or walnut. It is cut into planks, which are usually narrow in width, and feature tight seams between the boards. This flooring type is prized for its timeless beauty, durability, and value, and is available in a variety of stain colors, wood species, and plank widths. Unlike engineered hardwood flooring, solid hardwood flooring can be sanded and refinished several times over its lifespan, which can help maintain its appearance for many years. It is also available in both pre-finished and unfinished boards.
Engineered hardwood flooring is a type of flooring material that is made from real wood, but has a multi-layer construction. The top layer is a thin slice of solid hardwood, which gives the floor its natural look and feel, while the lower layers are made of a substrate of engineered wood, such as high-quality plywood, that provides stability and support. Engineered hardwood flooring is more dimensionally stable than solid hardwood, which makes it suitable for use over concrete slabs or radiant heating systems, and it is also easier to install. It can be sanded and refinished a limited number of times, and it is typically less expensive than solid hardwood flooring.
Engineered hardwood flooring is a type of flooring that is made from real wood and provides the high-end appearance of natural timber, with added benefits over solid hardwood. These floors are designed with stability and durability in mind, featuring a core structure that is bonded together, making them resistant to temperature and humidity changes and less prone to gaps, buckling, or warping. Additionally, they can be installed on concrete slabs and even in below-grade spaces, making them a versatile option for many homes.
What is Laminate Wood Flooring?
Laminate wood flooring is known for its durability and is composed of four distinct layers that are combined under high heat and pressure. The base layer, known as the backing or stabilizing layer, provides stability and strength to the flooring. The core layer is made of premium high-density fiberboard (HDF) and offers support while resisting stress from foot traffic. The third layer is a photorealistic image of high-quality wood, while the top layer, known as the wear layer, protects the flooring from wear and tear and may also have a textured surface to provide a realistic wooden feel.
