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.

Where Can Hardwood Be Installed?

Where you want to install hardwood flooring plays a role in the type of hardwood you should buy. Solid hardwood should be installed in cool, dry places around your home, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms. Engineered hardwood can be installed on all levels of your home, including your basement. Other places where hardwood can be installed include hallways and staircases. We advise customers to avoid installing hardwood in places with a lot of moisture and humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
