What Are The Different Types of Hardwood Floors?

What's your ideal type? Whether you like a rustic, vintage look or something more contemporary, we have plentiful hardwood options that fit the bill. 

Hardwood floors can be made from various domestic and exotic tree species. Additionally, hardwood flooring comes in two distinct subcategories: solid and engineered. 

• Solid Hardwood Flooring immediately comes to mind when most think of "hardwood." Each flooring plank is carved from a solid hunk of real wood. Solid hardwood floors are prized by those who love redecorating, as they can be repeatedly refinished. However, solid hardwood is definitely the pricier of the two and cannot be used below grade. 
• Engineered Hardwood Flooring is a more recent innovation. It looks exactly like solid hardwood flooring since its top layer is a prime cut of natural wood. Below the surface are multiple layers that make for a denser, more forgiving floor. Engineered hardwood flooring can be installed below grade and is popular for finished basements. Depending on the top layers' thickness, only select products can be refinished. 

Where Can I Install Hardwood Floors?

Installing hardwood flooring in your Iowa home means choosing the best woods for your space while paying careful attention to your indoor climate. 

Iowa's humidity levels vary greatly throughout the different seasons, making it important to maintain consistent humidity levels. Too much or too little moisture in the air can damage planks! "Harder" species of wood, like maple and oak, tend to be less affected by extreme humidity. 

Some of our favorite spaces for hardwood installation include: 

• Living Rooms
• Bedrooms
• Home Offices
• Dining Rooms
• Hallways
• Foyers
• Stairs 

Wherever you opt to install hardwood floors, we recommend professional work. Our hardwood flooring experts can help you set up an arrangement that meets your needs while letting you stop worrying about what might go wrong!
