Nothing quite feels like real, solid wood flooring. It's sturdy, feels substantial underfoot, and maintains value. Solid. Hard. Those words give the impression that solid hardwood flooring is an indestructible material, suited for all places in the house. But in reality, solid hardwood is a better fit for some rooms than others. We have the expertise to guide customers in deciding what best type of hardwood fits best their homes.
Engineered hardwood floors are for the most part prefinished, but can be obtained unfinished for customers that prefer a custom color on site after sanding. Prefinished floors once installed, can be walked on, furniture moved in and you're ready to go. The best engineered wood floors are built having 3 to12 multiple inner core of a hardwood and /or soft plywood layers that are cross layered, glued and pressed together. The top thicker hardwood veneer wear layer is then glued and pressed on the top surface of the core. Engineered hardwood flooring is available in almost any wood species. The benefits of using engineered wood floors include more resistance to slightly lower and higher moisture levels which adds to their appeal to use in damp basements or in regions of the country that have higher or lower than normal relative humidity levels.
Engineered hardwood floors range in a wide array of widths from 3-7 inches wide and in thicknesses from 3/8"-3/4" they also come in a wide variety of domestic and exotic hardwood species and some are even available in the popular hand scraped styles.
