Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Engineered Hardwood Flooring

By:


Wiki defines hardwood flooring as a term used to describe the hard wooden materials used in the construction of flooring products. There are two main types of hardwood flooring, solid hardwood and Engineered Hardwood Flooring. Laminate wood flooring is not bundled in the heading for hardwood flooring. Laminate wood flooring is becoming a popular choice, and has become synonymous with models like Pergo. A laminate wood floor is constructed of 2 layers, the top being colored and texturized to appear like real wood, but costs less and last longer.

Floors that comprise of layers that are bonded together are engineered hardwood floors. This type of flooring has a plywood middle with a top layer veneer which usually comes prefinished with a stain and sealer.

Solid hardwood is cut from solid wood material and does not consist of the plywood core. Solid wood floors can generally be refinished more than an engineered floor, but has a tendency to be less stable over time. What does that mean for you, the consumer? It means that things like gaping or creaking all through the year and during seasonal changes is standard.

HSW Floors installs exclusively high-quality engineered wood floors. We have a relationship with ProSource with locations in Addison, Allen, and Ft.Worth where you can choose from hundreds of samples to find the right one for you. You can also buy your wood directly from them, together with any transition pieces and adhesives need. Once you've made your purchase, we'll pick up all of it for you, deliver and install it professionally, as documented in the manufacturer's guidelines.

The most widely used floor that HSW Floors installs for its client is, by far, a solid red oad hardwood flooring; finished on site with a hand-scraped texture and triple sealed with a water-based polyurethane coating. On the first floor, a plywood subfloor and layers of vapor barrier usually need to be installed underneath a solid hardwood floor. We offer all the services needed to carry out your project at HSW Floors including removal of the original floor, removal and installation of baseboards, baseboard painting, door adjustments and shoe mould.
