What Types of Wood Is My Floor Made Of?

Hardwood floors come from a range of exotic and domestic tree species. The most popular options are classics like hickory, oak, maple, and walnut. But don’t rule out more unique, exotic options like acacia or mahogany. Choose thoughtfully: remember each wood species has unique shades, character, and strength levels.

Bolder Bamboo and Cool Cork

For unique takes on hardwood floors, check out our selection of cork or bamboo flooring. Cork flooring is made from the bark of the cork oak true, so it is very friendly to the environment. Its unique structure means that cork, unlike hardwood, is more comfortable underfoot, warmer to the touch, and more durable. We carry cork from US Floors.

Bamboo flooring is also environmentally friendly, but unlike cork, it is even harder than hardwood. As a result, bamboo can withstand heavy foot traffic. What sets bamboo apart from hardwood and cork, however, is the unique pattern of dark and light bands on the surface. We currently offer Terragren Bamboo.

What is Engineered Hardwood?

Many believe engineered hardwood flooring isn’t genuine wood and this simply isn’t true. Engineered hardwood is made up of 3 to 7 layers of real wood veneers that are pressed together cross-grain, and a top layer of premium hardwood. Its layered construction makes it more stable than solid wood and resists the natural tendency of wood to expand and contract due to changes in humidity.

• Engineered hardwood flooring comes in the same styles and species as most solid options. It can sometimes be refinished, depending on how thick the top layer is. Install engineered hardwood anywhere in your home, even in active spots. Engineered hardwood is durable and manages messes since it’s less likely to react to moisture caused by spills. It isn’t recommended for rooms like bathrooms and laundry rooms.

• Solid hardwood flooring is considered the traditional hardwood option. Solid hardwood has simple construction, made of a single piece of lumber that is usually ¾” thick. It can repeatedly be refinished. When it comes to refinishing solid hardwood, you can only go as far at the tongue on the edge.

Preparing for Your Hardwood Flooring Installation

Engineered hardwood flooring can be installed on all levels of your home, including finished basements with moisture control. When properly cared for, hardwood can last for years. Solid hardwood is best installed in places like bedrooms and living rooms. Solid hardwood can be refinished up to the point where the tongue is on the side of the plank.
