What is the difference between solid hardwood floors and engineered hardwood floors?
Hard flooring can be broadly divided into two categories, solid hardwood floors and engineered hardwood floors. Although, it is very difficult to differentiate between engineered wood flooring and solid hardwood flooring on the basis of looks. The only difference is of the price, processing, and durability. Solid hardwood flooring is made of the solid natural wood species and requires excellent sanding and refinishing services for shiny look. It is a little expensive but is designed of pure hardwood species. Solid hardwood flooring cannot be installed in high moisture areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms and basements. Solid hardwood flooring is extremely durable and can last for years if maintained properly. Engineered hardwood flooring is a combination of a core of hardwood, plywood or HDF. The top layer in case of engineered hardwood flooring is hardwood veneer which is glued top surface. This type of flooring offers excellent stability and is more resistant to moisture and heat. Engi
