What Types of Hardwood Floors Are There?

Hardwood floors are crafted from a wide variety of traditional and exotic tree species, such as cherry, oak, walnut, and pine.

It’s important to do your research and select your products with care. Each tree species boasts distinctive traits, features, and levels of hardness. Varied species of woods wear differently as time marches on.

What is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?

New York’s rugged winters and balmy summer months mean it’s important to consider humidity levels as you make flooring decisions.

It’s important to understand the nuances of solid hardwood versus engineered hardwood. While these two distinct products appear identical, here are some things to keep in mind.

• Solid hardwood floors are made from single hunks of natural wood. As the original way to enjoy hardwood floors, solid planks are in high demand. They add ongoing beauty and value to your interiors if carefully maintained. Solid hardwood is not a friend to moisture and requires diligent climate control.
• Engineered hardwood flooring, a more recent innovation, is more forgiving. Made from dense layers of hardwood, plywood, and resin, it won’t readily shrink or expand from humidity. Engineered hardwood floors, unlike solid hardwood, can go below grade.

Planning Your Hardwood Floor Installation

Most types of hardwood floors are best avoided in the kitchen or bathroom. The sole exception is our unique family of waterproof hardwood flooring.

Engineered hardwood floors offer a good deal of flexibility and can go in finished basements. It’s the clear winner for New York State’s frigid winters. An engineered hardwood floor in be installed with nails, or floated over an existing hard surface such as concrete.

However, if you have your heart set on solid hardwood floors, consider reserving these products for dry, quieter interior settings. Wherever you choose to install hardwood flooring, a professional installation is strongly advised to ensure the best optimal results.
