What is the advantage of using solid Hardwood flooring over the other types such as an engineered hardwood flooring, floating wood floors or glue down engineered flooring?
A. 3/4 solid Hardwood flooring has a thick 5/16 top wear layer that can be sanded and refinished new again up to 7 times and can last well over 100 years. Solid Hardwood flooring also adds structural strength to a floor system due to its 3/4 thickness and interlocking Tongue and Groove milling. If you have a wood subfloor you would most likely want to use 3/4 solid wood flooring. Q. Does it matter what size width board or color to use? Is one width better than another? A. No, not really I would suggest using whatever width board you would like to have. The big swing for the last 15 years has been to go with a wider 3-1/4 inch wide board instead of the standard 2-1/4 inch wide. The rule of thumb is a narrower board will give you a more formal look and feel to your home. A wider board (over 4 inches wide) gives off a more Country look and feel. If you are putting a new Hardwood floor in either a kitchen or a new addition and have an older standard 2-1/4 wide (strip) Hardwood flooring in
