You can buy hardwood flooring in 2 major types of cuts: solid hardwood and engineered hardwood. A solid hardwood floor is sliced right out the tree in one piece, giving you the sliced-cut visual. This enhances the grain's linear qualities, running straight down the board. A solid hardwood floor can also be sanded and refinished multiple times over, though it requires the utmost care when it comes to maintenance and redoing. On the other hand, most engineered hardwood floors can only be screened. This means they cannot be refinished entirely but rather spot treated in a specific area. Some engineered styles can be sanded and redone, so make sure to look at the care instructions of your selected type before you decide to spruce up your hardwood. The NWFA (National Wood Floor Association) includes engineered hardwood in the real hardwood flooring category, even though it has a plywood or HDF core. The veneer on the top is what drives the product to be categorized as such. It still has all the stylistic visuals of solid hardwood with a different core.

Whether it is solid or engineered, wood flooring adds value to a home. It is a great investment despite its prices. Your home will possess a timeless look and have an aura of luxury. There are cheap, more durable options for flooring, yet none as stunning as a true hardwood floor. Shaw Hardwood Flooring is an industry leader in value and price.
