At World of Rugs & Furniture we see more then ever, the popularity of hardwood floors in American homes. This has manufacturers developing new techniques to create hardwood flooring.
Besides the common 3/4" solid oak flooring, there are many new options for you to choose from. By glueing hardwood veneers together, it is possible to create a hardwood floor that can be installed in places the old 3/4" solid wood floor could not. In addition, the factory finishes that are used today, are extremely tough and durable.
What hardwood floor is right for you?
We will help you determine which floors are best for your situation and we will also help you avoid some common homeowner mistakes when buying hardwood floors.
 | Solid woodSolid hardwood floors are one complete piece of solid wood from top to bottom.
They generally are 3/4" thick, however new technology in milling is allowing for a 5/16" thickness as well.
The most commonly recognized width is 2¼", but also comes in sizes from 1½" stips to 7" planks.
Lengths will be random from 12" to 84".
Installation options: Recommended Nail Down.
Not recommended for below grade use, basements. |
Engineered woodEngineered hardwood floors have 2, 3, or 5 layers of wood laminated together to become one board. Using a cross-graining lamination process, it is resulting in a floor that is dimensionally stable and not affected by moisture as much as solid hardwood.
With cross-graining the plies, engineered floors become very stable so they do not expand and contract like solid floors.
Engineered hardwood floors can be installed on any grade level of the home; below grade, on grade or above grade.
Installation options are: Nail Down, Staple Down, Glue Down or Floating.
Engineered wood floors arrange in thickness from 1/4" to 9/16" and widths from 2¼" to 7".
Lengths will be random from 12" to 60". |  |
