Hardwood flooring – timeless beauty that’s hard to ignore
No other flooring type becomes ingrained in your customers’ daily lives quite like hardwood floors. Its aesthetic qualities are clear; consider the variety of styles available, the organic way hardwood flooring reacts and adapts to its environment, and its ability to be reborn with occasional sanding or refinishing. And with an average lifespan exceeding 100 years and great insulation qualities, hardwood flooring makes a great functional choice as well.

Hardwood Flooring types
Hardwood flooring comes in two varieties: engineered and solid. Solid is the most common choice and best suited for higher-grade installations. It consists of one-piece boards that are generally nailed to a sub-floor. Most are unfinished, thereby allowing customers, the hardwood flooring supplier or distributor to apply a variety of colors and finishes.
Engineered hardwood is comprised of two or more layers of wood that have been laminated together, the top being a veneer and the bottom a softer wood backing. The top wood veneer comes pre-finished and the overall system gets glued to the subfloor or even concrete, making it better-suited for below-grade and basement installations.
