Having hardwood floors installed in your home adds a touch of elegance and timeless appeal. Hardwood flooring is a great choice for many homeowners due to its natural beauty and easy cleaning.
Homeowners often ask, “What’s the difference between solid hardwood flooring and engineered hardwood flooring?” The simple answer is construction and maintenance.
From the surface, there is no visible difference, and cleaning the two products is the same. However, an engineered product should not be sanded or refinished. Its core is made of a wood composite and the surface is a wood veneer. While solid hardwood floors are wood all the way through and can be refinished numerous times. Keep in mind the installation and refinishing of hardwood flooring can be expensive.
Selecting the colors for your new hardwood flooring is exciting! Did you know that choosing the perfect (matching) color for your new floors is easier under your room’s natural lighting, in the home. That is why we offer free in-home estimates with measures included at zero cost. Work with our design consultants to identify what hardwood products would work best in your space.
If you’re looking for a hardwood look, but the room(s) have regular moisture from sinks, dishwashers, or showers, consider an engineered hardwood product.

There is waterproof laminate or luxury vinyl if you’re installing in a kitchen, bathroom or basement (these are places natural hardwood is not recommended). Laminate and vinyl also happen to be scratch and fade resistant. These are valuable properties that hardwood flooring does not possess. Likewise, if you have a busy, high-traffic home or pets, consider alternatives to hardwood. Though, laminate and vinyl are suitable alternatives, solid hardwood floors will provide a greater return on your home’s resale value.
