Types of Wood Flooring

There are three types of wood flooring. The following information about these three types of wood will help you find the right one for you.

Solid: Is simply one piece of wood from top to bottom. In most cases, solid flooring is nailed down to 3/4" plywood and is excellent for most areas of a home on the ground level or above. Solid flooring allows you to customize by including borders, patterns, and corner treatments.





Engineered: Is a wood flooring product that consists of layers of wood pressed together. Engineered flooring is ideal for glue-down installation or float-in installation above grade, on grade, or below grade including basements and humid climates. Because the grains run in different directions, engineered florring is more dimensionally stable than solid wood.





Acrylic Impregnated: Is a process where acrylics are injected into the wood creating super-hard, extremely durable flooring. They are used mainly in commercial installations or in heavy traffic areas.
