What is Solid Hardwood Flooring?

 

Solid wood flooring is made from a single strip of premium wood, such as oak, hickory, maple, mahogany, birch, and so on. Each plank is usually ¾’’ inch thick, although this can vary from product to product. Given this construction, solid hardwood is strong and durable, and in some cases will be the last floor you ever buy!

What Is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?

 

Engineered hardwood flooring is a relatively new option that currently makes up about 40% of all new wood installations. Each plank is created by laminating three to seven layers of composite wood together, rather than a single piece of premium hardwood. At the surface is a hardwood veneer made from any one of the popular wood species available, from natural oak to dark walnut. Therefore, solid and engineered wood floors look identical from the surface.

Does Humidity Affect Hardwood?

 

Humidity doesn’t just cause frizz! It also plays a big role in how your hardwood flooring performs throughout its lifetime. Natural hardwood expands and contracts based on the temperature and moisture level of a room. When it expands or contracts, the wood is prone to warping and buckling. Your room doesn’t even need to be humid, very dry rooms can cause shrinkage and breakage. It is important to assess your humidity levels before buying hardwood flooring.

 

Is Solid or Engineered Hardwood Better For Tennessee?

 

Well… it depends. If your home is climate controlled – lucky you! Then you can enjoy either solid or engineered. However, if your home fluctuates in temperature and moisture level based on the season you may want to skip out on solid hardwood flooring.

 

 

Due to its extra stability, engineered hardwood is better suited for humid climates, as well as above and below ground settings. It is still not a great option for rooms with significant moisture, but engineered hardwood is certainly less likely to expand or contract under these types of conditions. Engineered hardwood floors are better for our region, and we often recommend them.
