Which
kind of floor do you need?
Solid
or engineered wood?
Each
type has its specific use and the answer depends on your lifestyle and
your needs.
The
solid choices can be installed on grade and above grade, but not below
grade. Solids should be in a moisture-controlled environment. Solid
wood strip or plank is nailed down only and requires a wood sub floor.
Solid wood parquet can be glued to a variety of sub floor materials.
The
engineered choices consist of a multi-plied, cross-stacked backing
with a veneer top layer of a selected species. These engineered floors
can be installed on grade, above and below grade.
The
engineered varieties are more dimensionally stable so they can be
installed in areas where solid wood is not compatible due to moisture.
Engineered strip, plank and parquet are glue down applications over
various sub floor materials. Some engineered strip and plank can be
nailed down which requires a wood sub floor. Engineered includes
floating floors where the tongue and groove are glued together, but
the floor is not anchored to the sub floor.
What
is the difference between laminate flooring and wood flooring?
Laminate
consists of synthetic backing with a high-pressure direct-press
laminate surface.
Wood
floors consist of wood backing with a wood wear surface or solid wood.
With proper care these floors will last generations. These natural
woods can be refinished, re-sanded, and re-coated to look like new.
