Should you choose solid or engineered wood flooring?

Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of real wood. It delivers a traditional hardwood appearance and may be sanded and refinished multiple times, depending on the product.
Engineered hardwood has a genuine hardwood veneer over a layered core. Its construction provides greater dimensional stability as environmental conditions change and makes engineered wood flooring suitable for a wider range of installations.

We can help you determine which construction works best for your project.

Which hardwood species should you choose?

The species affects a hardwood floor's grain, color, hardness, and overall character.

Oak wood flooring is popular for its distinctive grain and versatility. White oak often has a natural, contemporary appearance, while red oak typically features warmer undertones. Maple offers a smoother, more subtle grain. Hickory has bold grain patterns and noticeable color variation, while walnut is known for its rich, deep tones.

Viewing samples in person is one of the best ways to compare these natural differences.

How do you clean and maintain hardwood floors?

Regular care helps hardwood flooring maintain its appearance for years.

Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum frequently to remove dirt and grit that could scratch the finish. Wipe up spills promptly and use cleaners approved for your specific hardwood product. Avoid excessive water, harsh chemicals, and steam cleaning unless the flooring manufacturer specifically approves it.

Place mats near entrances and protective pads beneath furniture. Area rugs can provide additional protection in busy spaces. Always follow your flooring manufacturer's maintenance instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does hardwood flooring last?

Quality hardwood floors can last 30-100 years or more with proper installation and maintenance. Lifespan varies based on the product, finish, traffic, environment, and care.

Is engineered hardwood real wood?

Yes. Engineered hardwood flooring has a genuine hardwood surface over a layered core designed to provide added dimensional stability.

Can hardwood flooring be refinished?

Solid hardwood floors can often be refinished multiple times. Some engineered hardwood can also be refinished, depending on the thickness of its real wood surface layer.

Does hardwood flooring need to acclimate before installation?

Always follow the manufacturer’s specific acclimation requirements.
