Solid Vs. Engineered Hardwood

There are two types of hardwood flooring: solid and engineered. Solid hardwood and engineered hardwood look exactly alike. Looks can be deceiving, though, because the two perform very differently. Learn more about each hardwood flooring type:

• Solid hardwood flooring is a traditional style of wood floors where each plank is made from a single, solid piece of wood. Each plank is typically ¾ inch thick and made entirely of premium hardwood. Since it’s completely solid throughout, you can often sand and refinish your solid hardwood floors to meet your ever-changing style needs. This eliminates scratches, stains, dents, and other imperfections. While solid hardwood is a beautiful flooring, it can be susceptible to warping in humid or moisture-prone environments. Due to this, we recommend installing your solid hardwood flooring in above-grade and non-moisture-prone rooms.

• Engineered hardwood flooring is created from laminate layers. This layered design adds stability and prevents the wood from warping from moisture and humidity exposure. A natural hardwood veneer at the surface, meaning engineered and solid hardwood look identical from above. This type of hardwood is more affordable and durable. The only disadvantage to engineered hardwood is you can’t usually sand and refinish as often as solid wood. This depends on the quality and thickness of its top layer.

Hardwood Flooring Installation

The room you choose to install your new hardwood flooring can determine which type of hardwood you choose for your flooring renovation. Hardwood isn’t the best choice for rooms prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens, but options are suitable for the remainder of your home. Solid hardwood, for example, works best in quiet, dry rooms. It can be installed in above-grade spaces and is the perfect hardwood flooring type for living rooms, bedrooms, and more. Engineered hardwood is a newer option built from up to seven layers of natural wood. Unlike its solid counterpart, engineered hardwood can resist moisture and be installed below-grade. This type of hardwood is great for basements and mudrooms, but it can also be installed throughout your entire home for an extra layer of protection against moisture.
