Engineered Hardwood Floors vs. Solid Hardwood Floors

Engineered hardwood floors offer several advantages over solid hardwood floors, including enhanced durability, easier installation, and greater sustainability. Composed of multiple layers with a hardwood veneer on top, engineered hardwood is more stable and resistant to environmental changes. This stability allows for larger plank sizes without the risk of warping. Additionally, engineered hardwood uses less raw material, making it a more sustainable option. The layered construction also provides excellent resistance to moisture, making it suitable for areas like kitchens. Overall, engineered hardwood floors combine practicality, beauty, and eco-friendliness.

FIREWOOD

The upper section of the tree is used for firewood, which may not be suitable for flooring due to higher branch density and smaller trunk size.

CHARACTER

Our character grade comes from the middle part of the tree. This part has a visual appeal and some knots but avoids the large holes of the top part. We refer to our character grade as “light character”.

SELECT

Our select grade comes from the bottom part of the tree and is the youngest wood, which results in the absence of knots and a sleek appearance.
