Types of Wood

Hardwood flooring can be made using both exotic and domestic tree species, giving you many different options and functions. Some of the most popular domestic hardwoods include pine, maple, or oak. Exotic hardwood flooring can be made using species like mahogany and teak. Each variety offers varying levels of hardness, so do your research and choose with care.

Solid vs. Engineered Hardwoods

Solid hardwood and engineered hardwood look almost exactly alike, but there are some critical distinctions to consider. Solid hardwood is the original way to enjoy this flooring classic. Each floorboard is made using a single, solid piece of wood. Solid hardwood is preferred by some because it adds instantaneous value and can be refinished several times. Still, solid hardwood can be considerably pricey, and it doesn’t fare well in moisture-prone places. Engineered hardwood flooring offers a greater deal of flexibility, particularly in busy rooms where accidents are bound to happen. Made from up to seven layers of natural woods, engineered hardwood is a denser product that can be used below grade. It is much less likely to shrink or expand when exposed to moisture or humidity and can be installed below grade.

Where to Install Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring, particularly solid hardwood, should be avoided in kitchens and bathrooms. Engineered hardwood flooring is the best hardwood selection if you have pets or small children. Quiet, climate-controlled rooms are the best site for solid hardwood, while engineered is more suited for moisture-prone areas. Our experts can help you choose the best hardwood for your space and needs.
