The difference between solid and engineered hardwood flooring?

Wood flooring is an essential floor covering for many homeowners, but you have two specific types from which to choose. Both solid and engineered flooring is highly sought after, but the differences between the two could make one better for you than the other, so let’s find out what those differences are right now.

Wood flooring offers a variety

Solid hardwood flooring is the most well-known wood floor option, with wood through and through, excellent personalization options, and a lifespan that can easily reach 100 years or more. These floors add fantastic value to your home, which can be an asset whether you plan to keep your home or sell it.

Engineered flooring offers a layered construction with a veneer of natural wood on top of plywood, topped with a wear layer for outstanding performance, even in heavy traffic. These materials are also a good choice in basement areas, where solid hardwood cannot be installed.

Both products can be refinished and offer choices for your favorite species, stain color, and finish type, so durability and personalization are available in both products.
