What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood flooring?

The difference between these two flooring types may be so slight that it barely matters or so extensive that it makes all the difference, which is why we think it is important to discuss here. Read along with today’s post to find information about engineered and solid hardwood flooring that could be especially important for your flooring project.

Not all wood flooring is the same

When homeowners search for wood flooring, they often reach out for solid wood first. This product is natural wood, through and through, offering outstanding durability, beautiful personalization options, and one of the most extended lifespans in the industry.

Engineered wood floors feature a backing made of layers of plywood, laid perpendicularly to one another, and topped with a veneer of natural solid wood. They are stable, durable, and installed in areas where solid wood is not a feasible choice, such as basements, laundry rooms, and kitchens.

Both solid and engineered wood choices offer the option to refinish, strips away years of wear, allowing you to have a new stain and finish color applied. The new finish will give you added lifespan, functionality, and beauty for an experience that goes on and on.
