wood floor types

Solid Flooring
All wood flooring, regardless of width or length, is considered Solid Flooring. This type of flooring can be easily customized, in terms of species stains and finishes. Solid Flooring is an excellent choice for areas that are on the ground level or higher
 
Engineered Flooring
This flooring is comprised of wood layers that are pressed together using multi-directional grains and is available in both 3 and 5 ply. As a result of the multi-directional grains, the wood is more dimensionally stable than that used in solid flooring. Engineered Flooring is perfect for areas where other wood flooring may not be suitable, such as basements, kitchens, powder rooms and utility rooms.
 
Acrylic Impregnated flooring
Acrylic Impregnated Flooring is a process where acrylics are injected into the wood itself, creating a hard and extremely resilient floor. This type of flooring is often used in commercial installations, such as shopping malls and restaurants; however, it can also be a great choice for homeowners who desire extra durability.
