If you've been told that you can't floor your entire home in hardwood flooring because you have some below-grade spaces, you only have half the story. Indeed, solid wood flooring cannot be installed in these spaces, but engineered wood floors can.
With engineered hardwood floors, you get the same great look and feel of solid wood, but it can be installed in spaces where the other simply won’t work. It features many of the same great species options, stain colors, and finish types and can even be refinished a few times, depending on the thickness of the wear layer.
The differences in hardwood flooring
Solid hardwood floors cannot be installed in spaces such as basements, because the temperature changes, humidity, and dampness can cause the wood to warp, buckle, or crack. While these floors offer extensive personalization options, excessive durability, and a lifespan that could easily last 100 years, they must also be acclimated to your home before installation for the best results.
Engineered floors are created by attaching a veneer of wood, in the species of your choice, to a backing that consists of wood plies, to create excellent stability and functionality. All of this is topped with a wear layer, available in a variety of thicknesses, that protects against stains, scuffs, scratches, and daily wear of all kinds.
Between these two amazing products, you can easily floor your entire home in hardwood flooring. Guests likely won’t even know that the products are different, as together they’ll create amazing continuity from one room to the next. Remember to ask your associate, at our hardwood flooring retailer, about professional installation.
