Solid hardwood flooring installation requires nailing or stapling planks to a wooden subfloor after a period of acclimation. This method of installation can be challenging, even for an experienced DIYer. We recommend solid hardwood be installed by a contractor who is experienced with solid hardwood installation.A big benefit of solid hardwood is that it will always be on-trend.Solid construction allows it to be sanded and refinished multiple times.
Most Engineered wood can be sanded and refinished several times throughout the life of the floor. Other things to keep in mind regarding the durability of engineered wood flooring:
Engineered hardwood can be installed in challenging spaces.
The structure of Engineered wood flooring makes it a versatile hardwood option for areas where humidity and temperature could be a concern — like basements — or over concrete slab or radiant heating systems. However, we still do not recommend installing engineered floors in laundry rooms or bathrooms.
Scratch and dent resistance differs among wood species.
The top layer of Engineered flooring is wood, so hardness depends on the species. Oak, Maple and Hickory are naturally harder, so they resist dents, scratches and other signs of wear better than softer woods like Birch, Cherry and Walnut.
