Hardwood flooring offers elegance and durability
Hardwood flooring is a timeless classic that embodies the essence of nature and the durability of expert craftsmanship. Hardwood flooring has long been a favorite choice among homeowners for its aesthetic appeal, longevity, and value. Dive deep with us as we explore the various types, finishes, and undeniable benefits of wood floors.
Solid wood flooring vs. engineered wood flooring
Solid wood flooring: Solid hardwood flooring, as the name suggests, is made from solid pieces of timber. These planks are typically ¾ inches thick and can be refinished multiple times, ensuring a long lifespan. The pure nature of solid wood gives it a unique character, with grain patterns and colors that are distinct to each plank. The key benefits of solid wood floors include:
Engineered wood flooring: Engineered wood flooring consists of multiple layers, with a top layer made of real hardwood veneer and the bottom layers typically made of high-quality plywood. This structure provides stability, especially in areas with humidity fluctuations. The key benefits of engineered flooring include:
- Durability: Can last for decades when maintained properly.
- Authenticity: Offers a genuine wood experience and aesthetic.
- Refinishing: Ability to sand and refinish multiple times to refresh its appearance.
Engineered wood flooring: Engineered wood flooring consists of multiple layers, with a top layer made of real hardwood veneer and the bottom layers typically made of high-quality plywood. This structure provides stability, especially in areas with humidity fluctuations. The key benefits of engineered flooring include:
- Stability: Less prone to warping and expanding compared to solid wood.
- Versatility: Suitable for basements and over concrete subfloors.
- Longevity: Offers the look and feel of real wood but with added resistance to moisture.

Unfinished vs. pre-finished hardwood floors
Unfinished hardwood flooring: Choosing unfinished hardwood flooring allows homeowners to have the sanding, staining, and finishing process done on-site. This ensures a smooth and level floor, with the flexibility to choose a custom stain that perfectly matches your décor. The advantages of unfinished wood floors include:
Pre-finished hardwood flooring: Pre-finished hardwood flooring comes ready to install with the stain and finish already applied. This speeds up the installation process and means you’re getting a factory-applied finish that’s often tougher and longer-lasting. The advantages of pre-finished hardwood floors include:
