Flooring Types

Solid wood flooring
Solid wood flooring expands and contracts with changes in your home's relative humidity. Normally, installers compensate for this movement by leaving an expansion gap between the floor and the wall. Base moulding allows for the needed expansion and contraction space around the edge of the room. Because solid hardwood floors are more susceptible to moisture than engineered wood floors, they should only be installed above grade over approved wooden subfloors and must be nailed-down. Solid wood floors can generally be recoated and refinished several times.

Strip flooring
Strip flooring accounts for the majority of hardwood flooring installations. Strips are usually 2-1/4” wide, but also come in widths ranging from 1-1/2” to 3-1/4”. They are installed by nailing to the subfloor.

Wide plank  or plank flooring
Wide plank flooring boards are at least 3 inches wide. They may be glued to the subfloor as well as nailed.

Prefinished flooring
Unfinished floors require several days to install, stain and finish the flooring. Prefinished floors are less messy and can be installed and completed in a shorter time frame.

Engineered flooring
Made of several layers of different woods or different grades of same wood stacked and glued together under heat and pressure. Engineered wood flooring is less likely to be affected by changes in humidity and can be installed above, on, or below ground level. Some engineered wood floors with thicker top layers can be sanded up to three times. Some can't be sanded at all.

Engineered flooring is manufactured in a manner similar to plywood, where three or five thin sheets (plies) of wood are laminated (glued) together in a crisscross formation for strength. A top layer (veneer) of hardwood is added as a finished top layer. Engineered flooring is available as strips or planks. Strips are 3" or less in width. Planks are over 3" wide. Engineered floors are very stable and can be installed on any  grade level, and are often chosen for installation circumstances where moisture may be an issue. Most engineered floors can be glued-down, stapled-down or floated over a variety of subfloors including wood, dry concrete slabs and some types of existing flooring. Although engineered wood floors are manufactured through a laminating process, they are not the same as a laminate floor.
