Hardwood flooring combines beauty and durability

Should you choose solid or engineered wood flooring?

Both solid and engineered hardwood flooring feature real wood surfaces, but each offers unique advantages.

Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood. Many solid hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished multiple times, making them an excellent long-term investment. They're best suited for above-grade areas with stable humidity.

Engineered wood flooring features a genuine hardwood veneer over multiple layers of plywood or hardwood core. Its layered construction provides greater stability when temperatures and humidity fluctuate, making it a versatile option for many areas of the home.

Not sure which is right for you? We'll help you compare both options and choose the best fit for your project.

Which hardwood species is best?

The wood species you choose affects the floor's appearance, hardness, and character.

Popular options include:

• Oak: Durable, versatile, and available in countless stain colors.
• Maple: Smooth grain with a clean, contemporary look.
• Hickory: Extremely durable with bold color variation.
• Walnut: Rich, elegant tones that add luxury to any room.

Our flooring specialists will walk you through each species so you can confidently choose the one that matches your lifestyle and design goals.

How do width, color, texture, and finish affect hardwood flooring?

Today's hardwood flooring offers endless design possibilities.

• Width: Wide planks create a spacious, modern appearance, while narrower planks deliver a more traditional feel.
• Color: From light natural finishes to rich, dark stains, hardwood colors can dramatically change the look of a room. Light floors brighten spaces, medium tones offer versatility, and darker shades create warmth and sophistication.
• Texture: Choose from smooth, wire-brushed, hand-scraped, or distressed surfaces. Textured hardwood adds character and helps disguise everyday wear.
• Finish: Your finish protects the wood while influencing its appearance. Matte and satin finishes are popular for their natural look and ability to hide footprints and minor scratches, while gloss finishes create a polished, reflective surface.

How do you clean and maintain hardwood floors?

Hardwood flooring is easy to maintain when cared for properly. To keep your wood floors looking their best:

• Sweep or dust mop regularly
• Vacuum using a hardwood floor attachment
• Clean with manufacturer-approved hardwood cleaners
• Wipe up spills immediately
• Place mats at entryways to reduce dirt
• Use felt pads under furniture
• Maintain consistent indoor humidity levels

Avoid excessive water, steam mops, and harsh cleaners, which can damage both the wood and its finish.
