If you're remodeling a home, chances are you want wood flooring in at least one of your rooms. Wood flooring has a timeless look,
and it gives a house a warm feel. Below are some of the types of wood flooring to consider.
Engineered Wood Floors Bamboo Flooring Prefinished Wood Flooring
Unfinished Wood Flooring Unfinished Engineered Wood Flooring
Floating Hardwood Flooring Hand Scraped Hardwood Flooring
Antique & Reclaimed Flooring Laminate Flooring Wood Staircase
Hardwood flooring comes either soild or engineered unfinished or prefinished.
Unfinished hardwood tends to be a little cheaper than prefinished, but does require
immediate light sanding, staining (optional), and finishing after installation. With prefinished,
you can walk on it right after installation. But one of the advantage to site finished is you can
stain it and finish it to your exact specification. With prefinished, the advantage is the quick
turnaround time. One popular hardwood is bamboo flooring. Bamboo flooring is highly
valued for its apparent "green" and environmentally-friendly qualities and can be nailed or
glued for installation. Hardwood flooring's greatest advantage is that it can be re-sanded.
Engineered wood flooring's greatest weakness is its thin top layer. Remarkably, this finish
layer can be sanded. But only once or twice on mid end flooring to three or four times on
the top of the line flooring products. There is one other option in the engineered family that
is an unfinished engineered flooring product that has the same wear layer as 3/4 solid flooring
and you can have it finished on site with a custom color of your choosing and finish.
Engineered flooring can be glued down right to concrete or nailed to a wood sub floor and
also floated.
Laminate flooring is not real wood, at least not in the way that hardwood and engineered
wood are. It's comprised of a thin top layer of resin-infused paper, all on top of a wood-chip
composite. So, technically it is wood. But it's wood in the same way that sodas with 5% juice
are called juice. The resin layer is essentially a photograph of wood. You can examine it with
a magnifying glass and still be fooled. The other reason it's included here is because most
people buy laminate flooring as an alternative to wood flooring. Disadvantages of laminate
flooring: hard to walk on (foam underlayment is put down to soften this), it's slippery, and it
cannot be sanded.
