Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood

The type of lifestyle you live can have a big impact on the flooring in your home, so it is good to have options when it comes to hardwood. Hardwood flooring typically comes in two main constructions: solid and engineered. These two types of wood flooring may look and feel very alike, but there are some significant differences. Learn more about their differences:

• Solid hardwood flooring is a traditional style of wood floors where each plank is made from a single, solid piece of wood. Each plank is typically ¾ inch thick and made entirely of premium hardwood. Since it’s completely solid throughout, you can often sand and refinish your solid hardwood floors to meet your ever-changing style needs. This eliminates scratches, stains, dents, and other imperfections. While solid hardwood is a beautiful flooring, it can be susceptible to warping in humid or moisture-prone environments. Due to this, we recommend installing your solid hardwood flooring in above-grade and non-moisture-prone rooms. Ensure your home has proper humidity levels through the dry winter months, so planks don’t become brittle and prone to gapping and cracking.

• Engineered hardwood flooring is created from laminate layers. This layered design adds stability and prevents the wood from warping from moisture and humidity exposure. A real hardwood veneer at the surface, meaning engineered and solid hardwood looks identical from above. This type of hardwood is more affordable and durable. The only disadvantage to engineered hardwood is you can’t usually sand and refinish as often as solid wood. This depends on the quality and thickness of its top layer.

Where Can Hardwood Be Installed?

The room you choose to install your new hardwood floors in can play a role in the type of hardwood you choose for your flooring renovation. For example, solid hardwood floors can be installed in dry, above-grade spaces. It’s the perfect flooring type for living rooms, bedrooms, entryways, and more. Engineered hardwood can be installed on all levels and in busier, more moisture-prone settings. This includes basements, mudrooms, and kitchens. Hardwood should not be installed in places like restrooms or laundry rooms due to the level of heat and moisture on a daily basis.
