Hardwood flooring types
Hardwood floors come in a wide variety of wood types, designs, finishes, and installation methods. Pre-finished hardwood flooring is convenient, requires no sanding or staining, and is less messy than finished hardwood. The installation of finished hardwood is faster to install than hardwood that has to be stained and sealed.
Solid hardwood
There are two basic hardwood flooring options. They are solid and engineered hardwood. Solid hardwood is what most people think of when they think about hardwood floors. It is available in strips and planks.
Strip hardwood has a uniform width that provides durability and easy installation. Planks are available in a variety of widths used to achieve a particular look such as antique or classic. Each design has advantages. You decide which hardwood flooring best meets your budget and needs.
Engineered hardwood
Engineered hardwood is used in residential settings. It is made by the adhesion of a veneer layer to a real wood layer. A cross grain layer pattern provides plank stability. Engineered hardwood is less expensive, durable, and easy to take care of.
