Hardwood floors add value to a home which makes them one of the most popular home renovation investments. When choosing hardwood floors, there are many different factors to consider including wood species, stain colors, surface treatments, and finishes. Hardwood floors are available in light wood stains, warm dark tones, and many beautiful shades in between. Beneath the stain is the natural beauty of the wood species which affects the look of the floor. For example, hickory hardwood has more pronounced graining whereas white oak has fine, straight graining. In addition to stain and species, the design and feel of hardwood floors can be created by surface treatments such as smooth, hand-scraped, wire-brushed, and saw-marked techniques. Which hardwood floor is right for your home and family? Our experienced flooring retailers are here to guide you from selection to installation.

Both solid and engineered hardwood floors are hardwood floors but have different constructions. There are benefits to both options depending on the climate, house construction, and room in the home where the hardwood floors will be installed. For example, a home that is constructed on a cement slab will require engineered hardwood floors. To learn which type of floors are best for your home, contact a Palmetto Road flooring retailer for expert advice.
Solid hardwood floors are constructed of a solid plank of lumber that is milled to a uniform thickness and width. They can be installed on the ground level and upper levels of your home. It is important to have proper HVAC or humidity control because solid planks have a tendency to cup or crown in a high humidity environment, causing movement which can result in buckling. Solid hardwood floors can be sanded and finished.
Engineered hardwood floors are made of multiple layers of wood veneers with the stained specie of choice on the top. The cross-layer construction of the veneers is designed to reduce expansion with dimensional stability. Engineered floors can be installed in basements or floors constructed on a slab. If the top wear layer is thick enough (example: 4mm such as our Veranda Asheville and Charleston Collections) then these floors can be sanded and refinished. In general, however, engineered floors cannot be refinished.
