With its natural beauty, rich textures, and varied grain patterns, wood flooring brings a sense of authenticity to living spaces.

Types of Wood and laminate Constructions
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood flooring consists of solid planks cut from a single piece of timber, showcasing the natural grain and color variations. Renowned for durability, each board is milled to precise dimensions, offering stability and a lasting, authentic appearance that stands the test of time.
Engineered Wood Floors
Engineered wood flooring is crafted from layers of wood bonded together. The top layer is real hardwood, while the core layers provide stability. This layered construction enhances durability, resists moisture, and allows for various installation methods, making it a versatile and resilient flooring option.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate floors consist of several layers, starting with a durable backing for stability. Above this, a high-density fiberboard core provides strength. A decorative layer with a printed design sits atop the core, followed by a transparent wear layer for protection against scratches and stains.

How to Care for Wood Flooring
To ensure the longevity of wood or laminate floors, consider the following maintenance and care tips:
Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. Clean with a damp mop using a laminate floor cleaner.
Avoid Abrasives: Refrain from using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the protective wear layer.
Prevent Excessive Moisture: Clean up spills promptly, and avoid using excessive water during cleaning to prevent swelling or warping.
Use Furniture Pads: Apply furniture pads under heavy furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents.
Protect from Sunlight: Limit exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use curtains or blinds to shield the floors.
Refinish When Needed: Depending on the thickness of the top layer, some engineered wood floors can be sanded and refinished like hardwood floors. Consider refinishing to refresh the appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wood Flooring
Laminate flooring is generally the most budget-friendly option among laminates, engineered wood, and hardwood. Engineered wood is typically more affordable than solid hardwood, making it a cost-effective alternative with added benefits like increased moisture resistance. Solid hardwood is often the most expensive due to its natural, luxurious appeal. The overall cost depends on factors such as wood species, quality, and installation complexity. Homeowners can choose a flooring type that aligns with their budget and desired aesthetics.
Laminate flooring offers a cost-effective alternative to hardwood, replicating its appearance with realistic textures. Its durable and scratch-resistant surface makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, and its versatility provides a wide range of design options, including wood, tile, or stone looks.
Laminate flooring is generally resistant to moisture, but extended exposure to high humidity or water can cause damage. While it’s suitable for most rooms, it’s advisable to avoid installing laminate in areas with frequent water exposure, such as bathrooms.
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood and is sensitive to moisture. Engineered wood consists of layers of wood veneer bonded together, providing greater stability and resistance to moisture. Solid hardwood, however, can typically be sanded and refinished more times than engineered wood.
Consider factors such as hardness, color, grain pattern, and cost when choosing a wood species for flooring. Some species, like oak and maple, are known for their durability, while others, like cherry and walnut, offer distinct aesthetics.
The ability to refinish wood flooring depends on its thickness. Solid hardwood floors can often be refinished multiple times. Engineered wood floors with a thick top layer may also be refinished, but the number of times is limited. Laminate floors, being synthetic, cannot be sanded or refinished like real wood.
