What Are the Different Types of Hardwood Flooring?

 

Although there are thousands of hardwood options, most products fall into two major families- solid and engineered hardwood flooring. Whether you’re selling or staying, hardwood floors boast incredible benefits.

 

 

  • Solid hardwood flooring comes from polished pieces of wood cut into various widths. While the standard size was once a narrow width, wider planks with wider on trend. Be careful using solid hardwood in moisture-prone rooms as the planks shrink and swell with changing moisture levels. Solid hardwood can be sanded down and refinished.

 

  • Engineered hardwood flooring has laminated layers of wood fused together in cross-ply directions. These planks are topped with a top layer of premium wood. You’ll get the look of beautiful hardwood by only paying the premium price for the top layer, not the whole plank. Engineered hardwood can be installed more freely, doesn’t need sanding or refinishing, and is more affordable. Since it uses less wood, engineered planks are also considered more earth friendly.

  

Where Can You Install Hardwood Floors?

Hardwood flooring can be installed in almost any room.

 

  • Bedrooms
  • Living rooms
  • Hallways
  • Dining rooms
  • Stairs
  • Home Offices

 

Its key to remember that most hardwood floors do not fare well in moist or humid rooms – such as kitchens and bathrooms. Choose an engineered hardwood option for these spaces, or an alternative like luxury vinyl plank.

 

Hardwood Flooring and Humidity

 

Wood is porous, meaning that it naturally draws moisture in. This makes wood floors more susceptible to damage when placed in humid and moisture-prone rooms.

 

Solid hardwood flooring is more susceptible to moisture than engineered hardwood flooring, so it cannot be installed in as many areas of the home.

 

Due to it special design, engineered hardwood flooring is water-resistant and there are even waterproof engineered hardwood floors.  This means you can enjoy wood floors in kitchens and other moisture-prone rooms without stress.

 

Still, it is important to clean up any large spills as soon as possible to make sure it doesn’t seep down and cause permanent damage.
