Wood is and will always be a timeless classic - and today it is still the most fashionable flooring for the home.  There is no other equal to the natural warmth and beauty of a real wood floor, and combined with the inherent appeal of wood's unique grain, character and ecological benefits it's popularity will undoubtedly continue to grow for years to come. Wood is also a solid investment for your home and in a recent national survey, 90% of real estate agents said that homes sell faster and for higher values with real hard wood installed.

Solid Wood Floors


Solid wood floors are one solid piece of wood and are generally 3/4" thick. Because solid hardwood floors are more susceptible to humidity and temperature changes than engineered wood floors they should only be installed above grade over approved wooden subfloors and must be nailed or stapled down. Solid wood floors can generally be recoated and refinished several times.

Engineered Wood Floors


These floors are produced by laminating several hardwood plies together to form the planks. Most engineered floors can be glued-down, stapled-down or floated over a variety of subfloors including wood, dry concrete slabs and some types of existing flooring. Engineered hardwood floors have cross-ply construction which reduces the expansion/contraction of planks caused by variations in humidity and allows these floors to be installed on any level in the home.
