Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood

There are two types of hardwood flooring: solid and engineered. Solid hardwood and engineered hardwood look exactly alike. Looks can be deceiving, though, because the two perform very differently. Learn more about each hardwood flooring type:

• Solid hardwood flooring is a traditional wood floor style where each plank is made from a single, solid piece of wood. Each plank is typically ¾ inch thick and made entirely of premium hardwood. Since it’s completely solid throughout, you can often sand and refinish your solid hardwood floors to meet your ever-changing style needs. This eliminates scratches, stains, dents, and other imperfections. While solid hardwood is a beautiful flooring, it can be susceptible to warping in humid or moisture-prone environments. Due to this, we recommend installing your solid hardwood flooring in above-grade and non-moisture-prone rooms.
• Engineered hardwood flooring is created from laminate layers. This layered design adds stability and prevents the wood from warping from moisture and humidity exposure. A natural hardwood veneer at the surface, meaning engineered and solid hardwood looks identical from above. This type of hardwood is more affordable and durable. The only disadvantage to engineered hardwood is you can’t usually sand and refinish as often as solid wood. This depends on the quality and thickness of its top layer.

Keeping Your Hardwood Floors Like-New

Keeping your hardwood floors clean and looking brand new for years to come is easy! The Franklin area experiences a lot of humidity throughout the year, especially in the summer, so you must prepare your new hardwood floors accordingly. Before using any hardwood cleaning products, consult your floor’s warranty to ensure you are using a product that won’t harm your hardwood flooring. We are always happy to make a cleaning product recommendation! Take these steps to ensure your new wood floors are pristine:

• Regularly sweep or vacuum.
• Dry mop to remove any excess dirt and debris.
• For a deeper clean, use a soap and water mixture when mopping.
• Use a wood polish every 2-4 months for extra shiny floors.
• Consider purchasing a dehumidifier to help prevent your wood floors from expanding and contracting due to moisture.
