Hardwood flooring adds true value to your home. These options come in different styles and tones, with elegant textures that add class to any room.
Solid - Solid hardwoods are typically 3/4" or 19mm thick, although some do come in 3/8" (10mm) or 5/16" (8mm) thickness. This type of hardwood flooring can be installed with a nail-down installation method over wood sub-floors. This type of hardwood is also very susceptible to the effects of moisture and temperature.
Engineered - Rather than having one solid piece of hardwood, the engineered hardwood method uses layers of hardwood veneer to create a product that can range in thickness from 3/8" or 8mm up to 9/16" or 14mm thick. The wood veneer can range in thickness depending on the manufacturer. In order to create an engineered hardwood, these veneer layers are stacked on top of each other with the grain of the wood facing perpendicular to each other.
