Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood: Choosing Your Foundation
Knowing the difference between solid and engineered choices is the first step in choosing the proper hardwood. Solid hardwood is a single, continuous piece of wood that has the advantage of being polished and refinished numerous times over decades in addition to its timeless beauty. It works well in ground-level spaces with consistent humidity. In contrast, engineered hardwood is made of several layers, with a dimensionally stable core underneath and a real wood veneer on top.
It can be installed in basements or over concrete slabs where solid wood isn't advised because of its layered structure, which makes it extremely resistant to moisture and temperature changes. Although their construction limits where they may be mounted, both options offer true wood elegance. Our professionals will assist you in evaluating your area and selecting the ideal, durable product.
Customizing Your Look: Species, Stains, and Finishes
The design flexibility of hardwood flooring is unmatched. From the delicate textures of oak and maple to the deep tones of walnut and hickory, we offer a wide variety of wood species, each with distinct grain patterns and hardness levels. Beyond the species, the stain selection significantly alters the appearance, enabling you to switch from airy, light natural looks to rich, traditional espresso tones.
Lastly, the finish defines the shine of your floor while protecting it. Options include penetrating oil finishes for a matte, natural look that is simpler to spot-repair, or sturdy polyurethane for a glossy or semi-gloss appearance.
