Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood: Which is Right for You?

When it comes to hardwood flooring, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is choosing between solid and engineered hardwood. Both types offer incredible beauty and durability, but understanding the differences can help you choose the best fit for your home.

Why You'll Love Solid Hardwood Flooring

Solid hardwood is the classic choice. Each plank is made from a single piece of hardwood, making it pure and straightforward in design. Solid wood floors are often crafted from durable species like oak, maple, or hickory, which can be sanded and refinished multiple times. This quality makes them perfect for homeowners who want a floor that evolves with their style over the years.

• Best For: Areas with controlled humidity, like living rooms and bedrooms.
• Unique Feature: Can be refinished multiple times for a fresh look.
• Con: Sensitive to moisture and temperature changes, so it's best to avoid rooms like the bathroom, kitchen, or laundry rooms.

Why You'll Love Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Engineered hardwood is built to last. These planks are constructed from multiple layers of wood bonded together, with the top layer of genuine natural hardwood. This gives the hardwood floor added stability and makes engineered hardwood more resistant to changes in humidity, which means it can be installed in places like basements or moisture-prone areas.

• Best For: Any room in your home, especially areas with fluctuating humidity, like kitchens or bathrooms.
• Unique Feature: More durable and stable in moisture-prone areas.
• Con: Can't be refinished.

Choosing the Right Hardwood Flooring Tone

The tone of your hardwood flooring can make a big difference in how a room looks and feels. Hardwood stains highlight natural wood's beauty and create the perfect backdrop for your personal style. Visit our store and let our experts guide you in choosing stain options that perfectly enhance any style, from sleek modern minimalism to warm, traditional charm.

Modern and Contemporary Styles

If you lean toward a modern or contemporary look, you’ll want to consider very light or very dark stains. Light-Stained Floors brighten up your space and create an airy, open feel. They're great for minimalist and Scandinavian-inspired designs.

Dark-Stained Floors, ​​​​​​on the other hand, add drama and contrast, making your furniture and décor pop in a striking yet sophisticated way.

Traditional and Rustic Styles

Medium-tone stains like honey, chestnut, or cherry are ideal for traditional or rustic spaces. These warm, neutral hues create a welcoming atmosphere and pair beautifully with timeless décor.

Hardwood Species and Their Unique Qualities

Not all hardwood floors are the same, and a lot of their character comes from the wood species you choose. Each species has its own unique grain pattern, hardness, and color variations, giving your floors a distinct personality.

• Oak is a strong, durable choice with bold, prominent grain patterns that create a dynamic look. It’s easy to stain, making it a versatile option for many styles.
• Maple has a smooth, clean grain that works well with contemporary interiors. It's natural light tone creates a fresh, bright canvas for your design.
• Hickory stands out for its durability and striking contrast between light and dark tones. It’s perfect for rustic or farmhouse-style homes.

How to Choose the Right Plank Size

Another factor to consider is the width of the planks. Plank size can dramatically alter the look and feel of your space. Narrow Planks (2-1/4" to 3") create a formal, traditional look and can make small rooms feel larger. Wide Planks (5” or more) are great for adding a cozy, rustic charm and making large spaces feel more intimate. Standard Planks (3” to 5”) are a versatile choice that strikes a balance between classic and casual styles.

Hardwood Gloss Levels for Every Look

The gloss level of your hardwood floors can subtly influence the overall style of your room. Whether you prefer a high-gloss shine or the understated elegance of a matte finish, there’s a perfect option for your space.

• High Gloss: Reflects light and gives your floors a polished, formal appearance, which is ideal for traditional settings.
• Matte Finish: Creates a natural, understated look that’s perfect for casual or rustic styles. It also hides scratches, making it a great choice for homes with kids or pets.
• Low Gloss: Balances the shine of high gloss with the natural appearance of matte, offering a versatile look for any design preference.
