With a little basic understanding about the different types of wood floors you can be better prepared and more confident in your selection. Wood floors are produced in both solid and engineered planks and strips and come in a wide variety of wood species. To help determine which type of floor will work best for your situation depends upon the location within your home and the type of subfloor.

Solid Wood Floors

Solid wood floors are one solid piece of wood and are generally 3/4" thick. Because solid hardwood floors are more susceptible to humidity and temperature changes than engineered wood floors they should only be installed above grade over approved wooden subfloors and must be nailed or stapled down. Solid wood floors can generally be recoated and refinished several times.

Engineered Wood Floors

These floors are produced by laminating several hardwood plies together to form the planks. Most engineered floors can be glued-down, stapled-down or floated over a variety of subfloors including wood, dry concrete slabs and some types of existing flooring. Engineered hardwood floors have cross-ply construction which reduces the expansion/contraction of planks caused by variations in humidity and allows these floors to be installed on any level in the home.

Green Hardwood - Floors That Make a Difference

Many of our engineered hardwood brands include reclaimed wood from dismantled buildings. Rich and full of texture, reclaimed hardwood flooring brings antique natural beauty from lands near and far. The wood used to make these engineered floors has a history of its own as it was reclaimed from ancient buildings, some as old as a few hundred years. Many of the reclaimed hardwood planks show some of the original antiquing and distressing, revealing the wood’s unique past, while providing a fashionable look for today's home.

Floors USA is also committed to supporting brands that meet stringent environmental standards for sustainable forest practices, never sourcing from clear cut or unmanaged forests.
