Solid Hardwood Flooring - Timeless Quality, Unmatched Durability

Why Choose Solid Hardwood Floors?

Solid hardwood flooring is the gold standard for timeless beauty and lasting quality. Milled from 100% natural hardwood, these floors offer unparalleled durability and charm. However, as a natural material, solid hardwood reacts to its environment, meaning moisture and temperature changes can cause expansion or contraction.

Key benefits of solid hardwood flooring:

• Longevity: Can be sanded and refinished multiple times, maintaining its beauty for decades.
• Elegance: Each plank is unique, bringing warmth and character to your space.
• Sustainability: Made from natural, renewable resources.

Important Note: Solid hardwood is not recommended for below-ground installations (like basements) or bathrooms due to moisture concerns.

Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood Flooring

What’s the difference?

Solid Hardwood:

• Made from 100% hardwood.
• Typically 5/8" to 3/4" thick.
• Can be sanded and refinished multiple times.
• Ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.

Engineered Hardwood:

• Features a hardwood veneer over layers of plywood for added stability.
• Suitable for below-grade installations (e.g., basements).
• Can be sanded and refinished 1–2 times.
