Hardwood flooring edition

Upgrading to hardwood flooring gives you many options for both visuals and performance. But it also creates lots of questions, especially if you're unfamiliar with it.

It's a good idea to learn all you can about your available choices. It helps you speed up your shopping time to find the perfect flooring.

Frequently asked questions about hardwood floors

Should I choose solid or engineered hardwood flooring?

Both are natural wood floors, and solid wood offers the most extended lifespan, at more than 100 years. As a result, it's an excellent choice for every space except below-grade rooms.

Engineered floors perform well in dampness and humidity. But they also offer durability against spills, scratches, and stains.

What's the best finish?

Many homeowners choose the high-gloss "shiny" look, which is excellent in light traffic areas. But there are plenty of textured finishes that can be beneficial or more so.

Textured finishes include vintage, distressed, and hand-scraped, among many others. And these surfaces can help hide scratches and scuffs for a better appearance over time.

Should I choose site-finished or pre-finished wood?

Site-finished flooring gives you extensive choices for customizing the look of your hardwood flooring. These include stain color and finish options, as well as installation layouts.

Pre-finished wood floors offer a faster installation, with no stain drying time. But it also means you'll be walking on your floors much faster as well.
