What Types of Wood Is My Floor Made Of?

Hardwood floors come from many different exotic and domestic tree species.

The most popular options are classics like hickory, oak, maple, and walnut. But don’t rule out more unique, exotic options like acacia or mahogany. Choose thoughtfully: remember each wood species has unique shades, character, and strength levels.

Additionally, it’s important to pay attention to your floor’s hardness level. Us the Janka Scale to learn which types of wood are the hardest, as these options are your better choice for more active rooms.

Best Sustainable Woods: Bolder Bamboo and Cool Cork

For unique takes on hardwood floors, check out our selection of cork or bamboo flooring.

• Cork flooring comes from the bark of the cork oak tree, so it is very friendly to the environment. Its unique structure means that cork, unlike hardwood, is more comfortable underfoot, warmer to the touch, and more durable. We carry cork products from US Floors.

• Bamboo flooring is also environmentally friendly, but unlike cork, it is even harder than typical hardwood. As a result, bamboo can hold up to heavy foot traffic. What sets bamboo apart from hardwood and cork, however, is the unique pattern of dark and light bands on the surface. We currently offer products by Terragren Bamboo.

What is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?

Many believe engineered hardwood flooring isn’t genuine wood and this simply isn’t true.

• Engineered hardwood flooring is made up of 3 to 7 layers of real wood veneers pressed together cross-grain, and a top layer of premium hardwood. Its layered construction makes it more stable than solid wood and resists swelling and shrinking from changes in humidity. Engineered hardwood flooring comes in the same styles and species as most solid options. It can sometimes be refinished, depending on how thick the top layer is. It’s durable and manages messes since it’s less likely to react to moisture caused by spills. It isn’t recommended for rooms like bathrooms and laundry rooms.

• Solid hardwood flooring is considered the traditional hardwood option. Solid hardwood has simple construction, made of a single piece of lumber that is usually ¾” thick. It can repeatedly be refinished. When it comes to refinishing solid hardwood, you can only go as far at the tongue on the edge.

With our long summer season and foggy winter months, both types of hardwood flooring can work around our region, if one practices careful climate control. Maple and hickory floors are especially popular.

Where Can I Install Hardwood Flooring?

Engineered hardwood flooring can be installed on all levels of your home, including finished basements with moisture control. When properly cared for, engineered hardwood floors can last for years.

Solid hardwood is best installed in quiet, dry places like bedrooms and living rooms. Solid hardwood can be refinished up to the point where the tongue is on the side of the plank.

Wherever you install, it is usually best to schedule a professional flooring installation. Our in-house floor installers are the best around and will treat your home as their own.
