There are two types of hardwood planks you can choose from solid or engineered. Both types of hardwood have great features and benefits, but one may be better suited for your home than the other. Here's a closer look at the differences between solid hardwood and engineered flooring:
Solid Hardwood
Engineered Hardwood
Humidity plays a big role in how hardwood will perform and last in your home. Wood has a natural affinity for moisture – it can draw moisture out of the air like a sponge. This natural tendency can create problems with hardwood flooring, though, particularly if the floors have not been installed properly. Over time, household humidity and even the weather outside can cause your floors to swell and even warp; the key to preventing this unsightly problem begins before your floors are even installed. However, if you still desire the look of hardwoods throughout your home, check out our engineered waterproof flooring!
Hardwood flooring is known for being durable and long-lasting, but it needs to be installed in certain areas of your home to live out its intended lifecycle. Here are some tips on where to install your hardwoods:
Tip 1: Solid wood is recommended for on and above-ground rooms with little to no moisture issues like bedrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms.
Tip 2: Engineered hardwood flooring can be installed in light-moisture kitchens, busy hallways, and even basements thanks to its durable design.
Tip 3: Be sure to keep hardwood flooring out of rooms with a lot of humidity and moisture like bathrooms, as this will lead to warping and other issues.

Q: Is hardwood flooring suitable for all areas of my home?
A: Hardwood flooring is versatile and can be installed in various areas of your home, including living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and even basements.

Q: How do I maintain hardwood floors?
A: Regular maintenance is key to preserving the beauty and longevity of hardwood floors. This includes sweeping or vacuuming regularly to remove dirt and debris, promptly wiping up spills, using furniture pads or an area rug to prevent scratches, and periodically refinishing or recoating the floors to restore their luster. Learn more about hardwood maintenance in our Hardwood Care Guide.
Q: Are hardwood floors eco-friendly?

Q: Can hardwood floors be installed over existing flooring?
A: In many cases, hardwood floors can be installed over existing flooring, such as plywood, provided that the subfloor is in good condition and level. However, consulting with a professional installer is essential to assess the feasibility and suitability of installing hardwood over existing flooring.
