Solid hardwood floors are just that—strips or planks of wood that are solid top to bottom. We don’t stain or tint our solid floors, so the colors nature gave them come shining through. Our engineered hardwood floors, also available in strips and planks, are made by laminating three to five layers of hardwood to one another in a cross-banded manner. The top layer is a premium hardwood. This type of construction gives the flooring the dimensional stability to counteract wood’s natural tendency to contract and expand with changes in temperature and humidity.
