What Is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?

Today’s homeowners can browse both solid and engineered hardwood flooring options.

  • Solid hardwood flooring is considered the traditional hardwood option. Planks are typically ¾” or 5/16” thick and can be refinished multiple times. Solid hardwood floors are sensitive to moisture and prone to expanding and contracting. It’s well suited for most areas of the home except for below-grade areas with a lot of moisture and basements.
  • Engineered hardwood flooring is made up of multiple layers. Its construction makes it sturdier and more stable. You can install engineered flooring on any level of your home and it's a good choice for busy households with pets. Some engineered wood floors can be refinished, while others aren’t designed to be.

 

What to Consider Before Installing Hardwood Flooring?

Modern hardwood flooring is made with your hectic lifestyle in mind and most products can be acclimated into your home environment in 72 hours.

 

  • Follow Manufacturers’ Recommendations
  • Space Out Cartons of Flooring to Ensure Airflow During Acclimation
  • Be Conscious of Your Home’s Relative Humidity Levels.
  • Consider Professional Installation to Ensure Warranty Coverage 

 

Hardwood Floors & Humidity

As the seasons change, the challenges to your hardwood floors do as well.

 

With hardwood flooring, it’s important to make sure your home never gets too cold, too hot, or too humid- all of which can warp or damage your floor planks. Our experts can help ensure you pick flooring that’s fit for your lifestyle and location.

 

We recommend maintaining a consistent relative humidity level of 42 percent. This is easily done using a humidifier, a hydrometer, or even insulated drapes. Turning your air conditioning on in the summer and keeping your heat at a steady level during the winter also works wonders.

 

For your home’s more active or moisture-prone rooms, including finished basements, we strongly recommend choosing engineered hardwood flooring.

 

How Can I Keep My New Hardwood Beautiful?

Your hardwood floor’s finish is made to resist everyday damage, but it’s still wise to follow these helpful tips.

  • Use Floor Protectors on Furniture Feet
  • Make Sure Casters Have Barrel-Type Wheels
  • Use Caution When Moving Furniture: Never Drag, Always Lift
  • Keep Pets’ Nails Trimmed
  • Avoid Wearing High-Heels in the House
  • Sweep or Vacuum Frequently, Using Soft Attachments
  • Wipe Up Spills Promptly
  • Consider Area Rugs for Areas Prone to Constant Sun Exposure
