Which Types of Wood Are Used In Hardwood Flooring?

Hardwood flooring varieties are as varied as the trees in the forest, with flooring made from both traditional and exotic species.

Hardwood flooring types include:

• Oak
• Maple
• Pine
• Cherry
• Ash
• Hickory
• Bamboo

One general rule of thumb is that each hardwood species has its own unique traits and performance capabilities. Choose a harder species of wood, such as bamboo, for spaces subject to more frequent or heavy activity.

Is Engineered Hardwood Really “Wood?”

Yes, solid hardwood flooring and engineered hardwood flooring look and feel alike same, but there are some particularly important differences to consider.

• Solid hardwood flooring is hardwood’s original format made from single, solid hunks of wood. It can be refinished repeatedly but needs to be oversaw with care. It’s best installed in cool, dry spaces that aren’t prone to moisture.
• Engineered hardwood flooring is a better option for areas subject to moisture or heavy usage. Engineered hardwood is manufactured flooring made from up to seven layers of natural wood, plywood, and resin. It’s a denser materials that can be used below grade.

Where Can I Install A Hardwood Floor?

Hardwood flooring performs best in climate controlled, low-moisture areas. Unless you’re working with a waterproof hardwood like our Hydrotek™ H20 collection, avoid hardwood flooring in kitchen and bathrooms. Constant moisture will cause your planks to swell or warp over the years. Engineered hardwood offers up a greater level of flexibility as it works great in finished basements and other areas previously off-limits to hardwood flooring.
