Hardwood Flooring Types & Wood Specimens
Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood Flooring is just that – a solid piece of wood from inside out. Solid hardwood flooring comes from milled solid lumber and is available in unfinished or pre-finished forms. Unfinished solid wood floors need to be sanded on-site and finished after installation. Pre-finished solid wood floors are installation ready and do not require additional preparation.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood flooring is manufactured with a real wood surface and several layers of different laminate or wood veneers. Unlike Hardwood Flooring, engineered flooring is moisture-resistant and suitable for basements. Both solid and engineered hardwood flooring are durable and long-lasting but engineered flooring is exceptionally strong thanks to its laminated layers.
