Hardwood flooring is available in several constructions, each with unique advantages. Understanding the differences can help you narrow your options and find a floor that aligns with your home's needs and long-term expectations.
One of the first decisions homeowners make is choosing between solid and engineered hardwood. Both offer the look of real wood, but they differ in construction, installation flexibility, and how they respond to environmental conditions.
1. Solid Hardwood Flooring
Solid hardwood is crafted from a single piece of wood, creating a timeless flooring option that can add lasting value to your home.
2. Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood features a genuine hardwood surface layer supported by a stable layered core designed to perform well in different environments.
