Determining the Type of Hardwood Flooring That’s Right For You
Solid Wood — Made from one solid piece of wood, this hardwood flooring is available in several widths. Hardwood flooring is more susceptible to moisture than engineered wood, so it should only be installed over approved wooden subfloors.
Engineered Wood — Produced by laminating several hardwood plies together to form the planks, engineered floors are less expensive than solid wood. Laminate flooring can also be installed over a variety of subflooring. They come in a variety of widths, thicknesses, and colors.
Prefinished Flooring — A benefit of installing prefinished flooring is that, depending on size, your job may be completed the same day. This floor is less messy to install and has a factory-applied finish containing aluminum oxide that makes them extremely durable.
