Types of solid hardwood floors
Solid hardwood flooring can be pre-finished or site-finished, also called unfinished. Ease of installation is one of the main differences between the two types. With pre-finished flooring:
It is worth the extra work and cost of site-finished flooring when:
- You can walk on your new floor immediately.
- Factory-applied finishes are almost flawless.
- You’ll breathe fewer VOCs after installation.
- Installation can be completed in one day.
- There is no dust.
- The cost is lower.
It is worth the extra work and cost of site-finished flooring when:
- You prefer a flush look instead of the beveled look of pre-finished planks.
- A less common species or stain (color and shade) is desired.
- The space is under construction or large renovation

Solid vs engineering wood flooring
Solid hardwood flooring is made up of nothing but wood. The typical thickness is 3/4-inch. It can be sanded numerous times and if well-maintained, last for decades. This type of flooring is not recommended for use in a bathroom or basement. It is never installed as a floating floor. Rather, it is nailed or stapled down. Hardwoods like oak are the most durable. Solid hardwood includes a greater range of wood hardness than engineered wood. Solid wood is ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Engineered wood flooring contains a thin slice of hardwood on top of a base of high-quality plywood. This type of flooring is usually pre-finished and has a thickness that typically ranges from 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch.
Engineered wood can be lightly sanded once or twice. The planks can be installed as a floating floor or nailed or glued down. This type of flooring is appropriate for kitchens or basements that don’t have a moisture problem. Engineered wood is a good choice if you like the look of wood but you want a more practical product.
