Types of Hardwood
Prefinished Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood combines the beauty of real wood with the added strength of plywood backing, offering enhanced dimensional stability. With a factory-applied finish, these floors are more scratch-resistant and durable than site-finished alternatives. Prefinished engineered hardwood can be installed on a variety of subfloors, including concrete and wood, using nailing, gluing, or floating methods.
- Top layer of real wood for natural beauty.
- Strong and stable plywood core.
- Scratch-resistant factory-applied finish.
Prefinished Solid Hardwood
Solid wood flooring is made from a single piece of wood and kiln-dried to remove moisture, making it a durable and long-lasting option. It’s best suited for wood subfloors and areas with low moisture. Unlike engineered options, solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, extending its lifespan significantly.
- Sourced from a single, solid piece of wood.
- Long-lasting with the ability to be refinished.
- Best for low-moisture environments with wood subfloors.
Finish On Site Hardwood
For a truly custom floor, choose unfinished solid or engineered wood and have it finished on-site. This process allows for personalized species, stains, and finishes tailored to your exact preferences. After installation, the floor is sanded, filled, and finished to create a one-of-a-kind look. Ventilation is crucial during the finishing process due to lingering odors.
- Unparalleled customization with a wide variety of species and stains.
- Unique colors and finishes tailored to your space.
- Requires proper ventilation during application.
