Solid wood vs. engineered wood flooring

 
Before you finalize your hardwood flooring choice, it's essential to understand the primary categories available: solid wood and engineered wood.

  1. Solid wood flooring:
    • Composition: Solid hardwood floors are made from a single piece of wood from top to bottom.
    • Durability: Can last for generations when maintained well. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times, ensuring it retains its luster and feel.
    • Considerations: Solid hardwood flooring is a natural product and can expand and contract with changes in moisture and temperature. Ensuring it's installed in the right environment and with adequate preparation is crucial.
  2. Engineered wood flooring:
    • Composition: Engineered hardwood is constructed with a thin layer of hardwood on top and supported by several layers of plywood beneath.
    • Durability: While it doesn't have the same lifespan as solid wood, engineered wood is incredibly durable and can also be sanded and refinished, but fewer times than solid wood.
    • Considerations: Engineered wood floors are more moisture-resistant and can be installed in areas where solid wood might not be recommended, like basements.

Benefits of hardwood floors

 
Embracing hardwood for your flooring comes with numerous advantages:

  1. Aesthetically pleasing: Hardwood flooring adds an elegant and timeless beauty to any room. Hardwood's rich colors and grain patterns are unmatched, making every plank unique.
  2. Durability: With proper care, wood floors can last a lifetime. Their strength resists wear and tear, standing strong under the daily foot traffic of busy households.
  3. Increases home value: Homes with hardwood floors often command a higher resale value. Prospective buyers appreciate the durability and aesthetic appeal they offer.
  4. Health benefits: Unlike carpets, hardwood flooring doesn’t harbor allergens. It doesn't trap dust, pollen, or pet dander, making it a healthier choice for those with allergies.
  5. Versatility in design: Solid hardwood flooring can be sanded and refinished multiple times, allowing homeowners to change the color or finish of their floors without replacing them. This flexibility can be especially useful for updating a home's look over time.
  6. Eco-friendly: Many hardwood floors come from sustainable sources. Moreover, wood is a natural and recyclable material, reducing its carbon footprint.
