The first thing that should be said about hardwood floor installation is that it should be provided by a hardwood professional expert in the field. This is not a do it yourself project and should be taken very seriously. Some areas are simply best left to the experts because you want to increase the value of your home; not make mistakes that will decrease it. As an experienced hardwood floor contractor we know just about all there is too know about hardwood flooring. We are going to take all the proper steps to ensure the installation is correct. Our experts follow all the industry specific procedures required to ensure a successful project.

There are two types of hardwood that are generally used. One is solid and the other is engineered.

 

Engineered hardwood flooring is made with multiple layers and is high humidity friendly. It is resistant to high moisture and you can glue it to concrete or over wood where staples are used. There are even click locked methods available as well where the tongue & groove edges lock together. The best part about an engineered hardwood floor is that it carries the equal resale capacity of ¾ inch solid. You can get engineered hardwood floor in widths of 3 inches to 7 inches. The regular flooring can last 3 or 4 decades depending on the traffic they are exposed too. The thicker flooring can last up to 100 years. These can be refinished but the regular cannot. The engineered hardwood flooring comes in sliced cut Veneer or rotary cut Veneer. You can also get it in hand scraped versions. The narrow width flooring is normally used for a more formal look. The wider length is used for the country look. You can get many styles, colors, and sizes.

If you are looking for a formal floor than dark is normally best. If you are going country then a light color is better.

Some popular hardwood types are:
