Engineered wood flooring is a type of hardwood flooring made from multiple layers of wood materials. The top layer, known as the veneer or wear layer, is a thin layer of real hardwood, which gives the floor the look of solid wood. Beneath the hardwood veneer, there are several layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF) that are cross-laminated to provide added stability, strength, and resistance to moisture. These layers are designed to prevent warping and expansion, making engineered wood more versatile and durable than solid wood, especially in areas with high humidity or temperature fluctuations. Engineered wood flooring is also suitable for installation over concrete or radiant heating systems, and it is typically easier and more affordable to install than solid hardwood. It offers the aesthetic appeal of hardwood with improved functionality and versatility.
Hardwood floorboards are solid planks made from natural hardwood, such as oak, maple, walnut, or hickory, used to create a durable and aesthetically pleasing flooring surface. These floorboards are typically milled from a single piece of timber and are known for their strength, longevity, and classic appearance. They come in various sizes, finishes, and styles, allowing for a range of looks in home or commercial spaces. Hardwood floorboards are installed by securing them to the subfloor using nails or staples, and they can be sanded and refinished multiple times to maintain their appearance over the years. They are highly valued for their timeless beauty, natural grain patterns, and ability to increase the value of a property.
Plank hardwood flooring refers to wide wooden planks that are typically between 3 to 5 inches (or more) in width, offering a more modern, spacious, and rustic appearance compared to traditional strip hardwood flooring, which features narrower planks. These planks are often used to create a more contemporary or natural look, with fewer seams visible in the floor, which can make a room appear larger. Plank hardwood flooring can be made from a variety of hardwoods like oak, maple, walnut, or hickory, and it is available in both solid hardwood and engineered hardwood options. The wider planks allow for greater variation in the wood’s natural grain and can enhance the overall aesthetic of a space. It is also highly durable, easy to maintain, and can be refinished if needed, providing long-lasting beauty.
Bamboo flooring is popular for its natural look, which can resemble traditional hardwood, and it is available in a range of finishes, from light natural tones to darker stains. It's highly durable, scratch-resistant, and well-suited for high-traffic areas. Additionally, bamboo flooring is often chosen for its sustainability as it’s a rapidly renewable resource compared to traditional hardwoods. However, it's important to note that not all bamboo flooring is of the same quality, and some products may be treated with chemicals, so it's crucial to choose high-quality, non-toxic options.

Solid hardwood flooring is made from a single, continuous piece of natural wood, typically sourced from hardwood trees like oak, maple, cherry, walnut, or hickory. The wood is milled into planks and then sanded and finished to create a smooth, durable surface. Solid hardwood flooring is known for its timeless beauty and longevity, as it can be sanded and refinished multiple times to restore its appearance and extend its life. Solid hardwood is sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature, which can cause it to expand or contract. This makes it less suitable for areas with high moisture levels, like basements or bathrooms, compared to engineered hardwood. Installation typically involves nailing or stapling the planks to a wooden subfloor.
Refinishing hardwood flooring involves restoring the surface of worn or damaged hardwood floors to bring back their original beauty and extend their lifespan. The process typically includes sanding down the top layer of the floor to remove scratches, dents, and old finish. After sanding, the floor is cleaned, and a new protective finish, such as polyurethane or a similar sealant, is applied to the wood to enhance its appearance and protect it from future damage. Refinishing hardwood floors is a cost-effective alternative to replacing them, and it can improve the overall look of the space by bringing out the natural grain and luster of the wood. This process is usually recommended when the floor shows visible signs of wear but is still structurally sound.
Engineered timber flooring is a type of wood flooring made from several layers of wood that are fused together to create a stable and durable product. The top layer is typically a thin veneer of real hardwood, such as oak, maple, or walnut, giving it the appearance of solid wood. Beneath this veneer are multiple layers of plywood or other types of wood, which are cross-laminated to provide strength, stability, and resistance to moisture. Engineered timber flooring is designed to withstand changes in temperature and humidity better than solid hardwood, making it a popular choice for areas with fluctuating climates or underfloor heating systems. It offers the beauty of hardwood while being more cost-effective and versatile for various environments.
