Solid Vs. Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring is well-known for being attention-grabbing and long-lasting. 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. Both types of hardwood have their advantages and could be a great addition to your home. Learn more about solid and engineered hardwood:

• Solid hardwood is sold as planks that are one genuine piece of hardwood and offers the most natural appearance. Thicker in construction, solid wood is a sturdy flooring choice that can be given a satin, matte, or gloss finish, depending on your preferences. Solid hardwood can last a lifetime and is perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and hallways with proper care.
• Engineered hardwood is made from three or more layers of wood, with the final product being cross-directionally laminated and fused with a top layer of premium hardwood veneer. It is more resistant to moisture, water, and humidity than solid hardwood, which makes it perfect for below-grade installations where dampness is common. It is a great choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

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.
