Solid Wood Flooring

Solid Hardwood is the traditional wood floor, constructed of a single piece of sawn lumber which is milled into a tongue and groove finished product. Solid hardwood floors most commonly are found in 3/4" thickness and are suitable only for nail down installations over ply-wood, OSB, and tongue and groove decking style wood subfloors on or above-grade. Recent innovations have brought about 5/16" solid hardwood floors, which are suitable for glue-down applications over concrete.

Engineered wood flooring

Engineered wood flooring is composed of multiple layers which are glued together in a cross-grain lamination. Typically these floors consist of a species layer followed by a multi-ply substrate made from another species of wood such as poplar. This process makes the flooring very resistant to expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture. As a result, these floors can be installed anywhere in a home and are suitable for both wood and concrete subfloors.

Long-strip Wood Flooring

A version of engineered wood flooring which has a unique composition, the top layer of long-strip floors are made of individual fillets or slats that are glued together to make the face of the plank. Long-strip floors are suitable for installations anywhere in the home and are also the most common hardwood floor which can be installed using the floating method.

The installation process varies depending on the type and size of wood. Fortunately, hardwood flooring often comes pre-finished, which removes a great deal of stress from the installation process. Pre-finish is applied to the wood in a factory, where the wood is sanded down multiple times, stained and finished with an oil topcoat or polyurethane. This makes installation easier and the wood itself more resilient. Learn more about the wood flooring installation process by speaking to one of our hardwood flooring installers.
