Which Wood Flooring Should You Install?
Between carpeting, ceramic tiles, vinyl, laminate, and hardwood, there are an overwhelming number of flooring materials for a homeowner to choose from. However, the National Wood Flooring Association claims Americans alone purchased over 900 million square feet of wood flooring each year between the years of 2001 and 2011.
Wood flooring itself is available in a wide range of sizes
and styles. However, there are just two basic categories of wood flooring including
solid and engineered wood. We are highly experienced in wood floor installation in Bergen County NJ for both solid and engineered wood. Solid wood, just as most would assume, features
individual planks of solid wood. Engineered wood, on the other hand, is a
laminated plank engineered from several pieces of wood. Both solid and
engineered wood flooring are available in a number of different wood species
and colors.

Solid Wood
Solid hardwood is available in both finished and unfinished.
While finished hardwood flooring is costlier, it does not require as much
maintenance. After solid wood floor installation in Bergen County NJ, you can add the baseboard and
start carrying in your furniture. Unfinished flooring requires sanding and the
application of a clear finish after installation.
Engineered Wood
Engineered wood entered the flooring industry in the
mid-1980s. It consists of three layers of wood and is more dimensionally sound
than solid wood. This means it is less likely to shrink, warp, crack, cup, or
split. Engineered wood is available in more than two dozen species including
those in both hard and softwood categories. Ease of engineered wood floor installation in Bergen County NJ makes
engineered wood a popular choice. The individual floor planks snap together and
do not require glue or nails. As long as the current flooring is hard, flat,
and in good condition engineered wood can be installed on top of it.

not being a sustainable choice.
