As your friendly flooring experts, we're here to help you find a hardwood floor that fits your home and your life. Hardwood flooring is one of the most enduring choices you can make for your house. It ages well, cleans up easily, and brings warmth to any room, whether you love a classic look or something more modern. We carry solid and engineered hardwood in a wide range of species, finishes, plank widths, and styles, so you can find the right floor for your room, your household, and your budget. Read on to explore everything you need to know to find the perfect fit for your space.
Hardwood Flooring Key Takeaways
Hardwood flooring comes in more varieties than most buyers expect. Here's what to know before you start browsing.
- Solid and engineered hardwood work best in different spaces. Solid holds up well in above-grade rooms with steady humidity, while engineered handles kitchens, basements, and areas where moisture levels shift.
- Species affects both look and durability. Harder woods like hickory and maple stand up to high-traffic areas and homes with pets, while softer species like walnut and cherry suit calmer spaces.
- Finish, gloss level, and plank width all shape how a floor looks and wears over time. Narrow planks feel traditional, and wide planks show off more grain while making a room feel more open.
Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood all the way through each plank. It can be sanded and refinished several times, which makes it a long-term investment with real, natural character. It performs best in above-grade rooms with steady humidity, like living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.
Engineered hardwood is built from several layers of wood topped with a real hardwood veneer. That layered construction makes it more stable in spaces where humidity shifts, so it works well in kitchens, basements, and open-concept areas that span more than one floor level. Some engineered products are even available in waterproof constructions.
Hardwood Species and Styles
Oak, maple, hickory, walnut, and white oak are some of the most popular species, each with its own grain character, hardness, and color range. Beyond species, your choice of finish, gloss level, and plank width shapes how a floor looks and wears over time. Narrow planks give a classic, traditional feel, while wide planks show off more of the wood's natural grain and make a room feel more open.
