Solid wood vs. engineered wood flooring: understanding the difference
When choosing hardwood flooring, it's important to understand the distinction between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood. Both options offer unique advantages, and selecting the right type depends on your specific needs and preferences.
- Solid hardwood: Solid wood flooring is crafted from a single piece of wood and exudes authenticity and natural character. It can be refinished many times, extending its lifespan for generations. However, solid hardwood flooring is susceptible to humidity fluctuations and may not be suitable for basements or areas with high moisture levels.
- Engineered hardwood: Constructed with layers of wood veneer bonded together, engineered wood flooring offers increased stability and resistance to moisture. It is a versatile choice for various installations, including below-grade applications. While engineered wood can be refinished, the number of times depends on the thickness of the wear layer.
