What is the difference between solid and engineered hard wood flooring?
Solid hardwood flooring is milled from a single ¾” thick piece of hardwood flooring while engineered hardwood flooring is made up of multiple layers of wood stacked in a cross-grain configuration. Most solid hardwood flooring expands and contract based on your home’s relative humidity while engineered hardwood flooring is configured to minimize expanding and shrinking. Traditional solid hardwood flooring is not suited for below grade installation, like in basements or sunken living rooms while the construction of engineered hardwood flooring allows it to be installed at any grade level. While engineered hardwood flooring can be installed in rooms below grade level, it’s still not advised to install any hardwood flooring in bathrooms or other rooms with significant exposure to daily moisture.

Establishing an easy care and maintenance routine for your hardwood flooring will ensure your floors look beautiful for years to come! Sweep, dust or vacuum the floor regularly.
