Hardwood flooring in Phenix City, AL from FloorWorks

What's the difference between engineered and solid hardwood flooring?


The search for excellent hardwood flooring may have led you to solid and engineered options. But what's the difference between these two materials?

One of these materials may work best for you, and you can find out by learning more about them. This is a great time to find out what they can do for you and your household.

Through and through, or veneer?


Solid wood offers a through-and-through wood composition for outstanding service. It's stable and functional; you can refinish it several times before replacing it.

But you'll get a different construction when you choose engineered wood flooring. These floors have a plywood backing with a top layer of genuine hardwood in your species' choice.

Both floors offer the impressive look you expect from hardwood flooring. And guests may never know the difference between the two.

Do you want a floating floor?


Solid hardwood is not a candidate for the floating installation method. We must install it into a fixed position for the proper structural integrity.

Engineered wood floors can be floated and offer excellent results. Be sure to ask about tongue-and-groove and other options for this installation method.

The truth is that all wood floors offer excellent results with stunning beauty. And we'll tell you even more about the difference between these two products.
