Wood:

Wood flooring is any type of permanent floor that has the appearance of wood, whether it is made out of natural or synthetic lumber. It is a versatile flooring material that comes in a number of styles, colors, and species.

What Is The Difference Between Solid and Engineered Wooden Flooring?

When they are fitted, engineered boards look identical to solid wood. This can be pretty confusing to people who wonder what the difference between them is. Well, the fact is, whilst engineered and solid wood floors look the same, they can act (and react) very differently. In the simplest terms, engineered floors are tougher, but solid wood floors can last longer.

Engineered hardwood is a good choice in areas of your home where you might be concerned about true hardwood warping due to high humidity levels, like in a damp basement. Additionally, as engineered hardwood floors use less expensive solid wood, they are typically a more cost-effective option for people who simply have their hearts set on plank flooring.

One drawback to engineered wood is that it’s not able to be sanded down or refinished as frequently as you could with true hardwood floors because of the thin top veneer. However, you can apply the same high-quality coatings to engineered wood floors that you can to traditional hardwood, making them very resistant to wear and tear.

In General Solid Wood, planks are three-quarters of an inch thick, but width can vary. The standard width is between three and five inches, and these are called a ‘medium’ or ‘standard’ plank. Another popular style is wide planks which measure between five and ten inches and look beautiful in living spaces throughout the home.

Pre-finished Solid Wood will already have the finish applied before you install the planks. Unfinished hardwood will need to be sanded down and finished so that it is both shiny and moisture-resistant after installation.
