A classic flooring material adaptable to
every decor from wildly contemporary to formal, wood works
well in any room, though it's not a first choice for baths
or laundry rooms.
Wood floors are available in solid one-piece boards or in
the form of engineered wood. This composite consists of a
hardwood veneer top-layer laminated to lower layers of softwood
backing that inhibit warping. It can be refinished and restained,
giving it enduring value in the home.
Before you choose your wood floor, here
are some points to consider.
Solid Wood
The most common wood flooring consists of solid, one-piece
boards, and is available in three basic types: strip flooring
which comes in varying widths and is typically nailed to the
subfloor; widerwidth plank flooring boards, which are either
screwed or nailed to the subfloor; and parquet flooring which
comes in standard 6"x6" squares.
Engineered Wood
This flooring consists of two or more layers of wood laminated
together. The top wear layer is usually a hardwood veneer
of varying thickness, with the lower layer being a softwood
backing. Rather than being nailed, most engineered wood floors
are glued down. Some are installed as "floating floors,"
meaning the edges of the panels are glued together but not
attached directly to the subfloor. It also can be glued directly
to a concrete slab.
Finishes
Unfinished floors, installed on-site, give you many choices
for colorations and durability. Most solid flooring is unfinished
while most engineered flooring is prefinished. Hardwood floors
are available as either factory-finished or unfinished. Floors
with a factory finish tend to be more consistent due to strict
application codes.
Solid one piece boards are the most common type of wood flooring.
There's also engineered wood which usually consists of a hardwood
veneer top layer laminated to lower layers of softwood backing
which inhibits warping. Most wood flooring today is pre-finished
at the factory for ease of installation and uniformity of
finish.
