Solid Wood Floors
Solid wood floors have been used for centuries and never seem to loose their charm and warmth. We generally think of
solid hardwood floors as a 3/4" thick plank that comes in narrow 2 1/4" strips. This is the classic strip wood floor.
Solid wood planks are cut out as a solid block right from the tree. They are then processed into solid flooring planks
with tongue and grooves edges. The planks are than either pre-finished at the factory or placed into unfinished bundles.
Engineered Wood Floors
Engineered hardwood floors offer several advantages over solid wood floors. Thanks to advancements in manufacturing
technology, engineered wood floors can be used in almost any room in the home. This includes installing over concrete slabs.
The top veneer can be any wood specie without wasting as much of the tree as for cutting solid wood planks.
Also, the factory applied finishes are extremely durable.
