Engineered vs. Solid Hardwood Flooring

We install solid and engineered wood floors throughout Southeast Indianapolis and the surrounding communities. The choice between the two often comes down to price and preference.

• Solid wood flooring: Modern solid wood floors are made in much the same way as historic wood flooring and therefore easier to match to existing flooring. Each plank of flooring is made from a single piece of lumber. Unlike engineered wood floors, solid wood floors can be sanded and refinished several times before requiring replacement. However, they may be more prone to expansion and contraction with the changing seasons. And typically, they’re more expensive than engineered wood floors.
• Engineered wood flooring: Engineered wood floors are typically made of a composite material covered in a wood veneer. This means the flooring can only be refinished once, if at all. It is also less likely to expand or contract. Sometimes, they can be installed as a floating floor (without being adhered to the subfloor). They’re usually more cost-effective when compared to traditional solid wood floors.

Engineered and solid hardwood flooring are excellent options for Indianapolis-area homes and businesses. A member of our team can help you select the flooring type that’s right for you.

Damaged Wood Floors? Consider Refinishing or Resurfacing

Not all damaged hardwood floors require replacement; some may be refinished. The same applies to floors that no longer match your design aesthetic.

Refinishing wood floors requires that they be sanded down to bare wood. At that point, a new stain (color) and sealant may be applied. Homeowners choose hardwood floor refinishing in Southeast Indianapolis to lighten, darken, or restore their existing floors. It’s a popular choice for wood floors that have sustained significant damage. We offer refinishing for engineered hardwood floors with enough remaining wear layer or solid wood floors thick enough to withstand the sanding process.

Resurfacing is a less invasive process. It does not strip flooring back to bare wood but removes the top layer of finish (often a polyurethane or hard wax oil. After removing the top layer, a fresh coat of sealant can be applied. This process can breathe new life into your floors while protecting them for years to come.
