Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood: Choosing Your Foundation
Selecting the right hardwood starts with understanding the difference between solid and engineered options. Solid hardwood is a single, continuous piece of wood, offering classic beauty and the benefit of being sanded and refinished multiple times over decades. It's ideal for ground-level rooms with stable humidity. Engineered hardwood, however, is constructed from multiple layers, with a real wood veneer on top and a dimensionally stable core beneath.
This layered structure makes it highly resistant to moisture and temperature changes, making it suitable for installations in basements or over concrete slabs where solid wood isn't recommended. Both options provide genuine wood elegance, but their construction dictates where they can be installed. Our experts will help you assess your space and choose the perfect, long-lasting product.
Customizing Your Look: Species, Stains, and Finishes
Hardwood flooring offers unparalleled design flexibility. We provide an extensive selection of wood species, each featuring unique grain patterns and hardness levels, from the subtle textures of Oak and Maple to the rich tones of Walnut and Hickory. Beyond the species, the choice of stain dramatically changes the appearance, allowing you to go from light, airy natural looks to deep, classic espresso hues.
Finally, the finish protects your floor and defines its sheen. Options include durable polyurethane for a glossy or semi-gloss look, or penetrating oil finishes for a matte, natural aesthetic that is easier to spot-repair. S&R Flooring Concepts Inc. guides you through every decision to ensure your new hardwood floor perfectly complements your interior design vision.
