Types of Hardwood Flooring

Solid:...................................................................

Hardwood flooring stands not only as one of many flooring options, but as a tradition against which other wood flooring options are judged. But in addition to simple reputation, hardwood flooring has a solid foothold as being beneficial in both the aesthetic as well as the practical. There is no denying that the look and texture of solid hardwood floors have a unique appeal. They lend a sense of hominess, a sense of permanence and old-world reliability that cannot be delivered in the same way by any other type of flooring. And hardwood also lends notable structural benefit to a property as well. This is significant not only for overall longevity of your home or commercial space, but also a greater value to that property too. On top of these general benefits, solid hardwood floors offer a range of options as far as species, cut, stain, finish , and surface. Oak, cherry, birch, alder, maple, and Jatoba hardwood floors are but a few of the choices in species that can lend your project a unique character and definition. Hardwood floors truly stand alone; a floor that exudes class, and in a class by itself! Hardwood flooring is available in a wide variety of species: Birch, Cherry, Jatoba, Maple, Oak, and more, allowing you a great selection for your particular flooring application. Stained hardwood flooring is another attractive option you may consider. We provide two choices in solid hardwood ; pre-finished hardwood flooring, protected by high quality urethane finishes with aluminum oxide, and onsite finished hardwood flooring.

Engineered hardwood flooring represents all of the traditional aesthetics of solid hardwood, with an innovation of design that makes it even more versatile! Comprised of several layers - the top layer being a species of real hardwood - engineered hardwood flooring is a robust flooring option that allows it to be installed in your chosen color, cut, finish, and surface texture in areas where solid hardwood is not recommended. The core layer of engineered hardwood is made up of high-density or medium density fiberboard. This multi-ply layer allows the engineered flooring to expand and contract with changing temperature and moisture levels without affecting your floor the way a solid hardwood floor would be affected. This means that for interiors that are not environmentally controlled, like a cottage or summer home, or in below-grade installations, engineered hardwood flooring is a clear choice! Engineered hardwood flooring can also be installed over radiant heat. Where this choice is usually actively discouraged by experienced installers due to solid hardwood's more sensitive nature, it is not a problem with engineered hardwood flooring. Engineered hardwood flooring is very versatile and has a number of different applications. For example, an engineered wood floor can be installed below grade and on a concrete subfloor, either as a direct glue-down or a floating floor. Engineered flooring is also an excellent choice for geographical areas with higher humidity or moisture levels. Explore our great selection of quality engineered hardwood flooring.

Laminate:.............................................................

For an innovative, easy, and cost-effective flooring solution, a laminate floor may be the best idea you've ever had. Popularized in Europe, laminate flooring allows you to recreate the look of real hardwood flooring, in a variety of "species," and in a budget-friendly way. Laminate floors are substantially lower in price than solid hardwoods, yet a high quality laminate floor can provide you with the beauty and durability you might expect in a real wood floor. If you have children and pets to consider, laminate flooring is a great solution - resistant to wear, as well as to animal hair and dander, often a problem with carpeting in a similar area. Laminate wood flooring is becoming increasingly popular for both household and commercial applications. This scratch-resistant and low-maintenance flooring solution for your home or office can be depended upon with confidence, and you can still enjoy the appearance of a solid hardwood at a fraction of the cost. We offer premium laminate flooring only, reputable names like Kronotex, Robina, K-Swiss, and Lamton, at unbeatable prices. All our laminate wood floors have 15 to 25 year warranties.
