Hardwood

Solid or Engineered Flooring

Traditional hardwood flooring comes in ¾” thick planks of solid timber in different widths. An option is engineered flooring—planks made with a thinner top layer of hardwood, bonded to other layers designed to prevent the floor from shifting during expansion and contraction cycles. Engineered flooring offers an installation advantage for homes without air conditioning where you have wide swings in temperatures or humidity levels, or in basements and apartments with concrete subfloors.

Type of Wood

There are many species of wood to choose from, whether solid or engineered. In the US, oak is king – preferred for its hardness, durability and looks; however, depending on the style of your home, you may choose among a wide range of flooring. Popular options include hickory, maple, birch and for traditional colonials, sometimes pine.

Another popular category is eco-friendly wood such as cork and bamboo. These renewable flooring products hold great appeal to some customers, and if you are aiming for a LEED-certified home they may qualify for credits.

Prefinished or Site Finish

Hardwood planks can be purchased with a raw face finished by a professional after installation, or prefinished, which arrives with the stain and topcoat already applied. With prefinished flooring you know exactly how it will look beforehand and it takes less time to install because there is no need to apply color or sealant. On the other hand, on-site finishing allows for a level of customization that appeals to many homeowners and designers.
