Hardwood Flooring

Q: What is the difference between hardwood flooring and engineered wood flooring?

Hardwood flooring can refer to both solid wood flooring and engineered wood flooring. Solid wood is made from one piece of timber, while engineered wood has a real wood top layer with a stable multi-layer core underneath.

Q: Can hardwood flooring be used with underfloor heating?

Engineered hardwood flooring is often suitable for underfloor heating systems, while solid wood flooring is generally less suitable due to natural expansion and contraction.

Why Choose Hardwood Flooring?

Hardwood flooring remains one of the most desirable flooring choices for homeowners who want genuine natural beauty combined with long-term durability. With authentic wood grain, rich textures, and the ability to improve with age, real wood flooring adds character and value to any property.

Whether you choose solid wood flooring or engineered hardwood flooring, both offer premium performance and timeless appeal.

Solid Wood vs Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Solid wood flooring is made from a single piece of timber throughout the full plank, offering traditional craftsmanship and the potential for multiple sanding and refinishing over time. Engineered hardwood flooring features a real hardwood top layer over a stable multi-layer core, providing improved resistance to temperature and humidity changes.

Engineered wood is often the preferred option for modern homes due to its better stability and underfloor heating compatibility.
