Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood
What’s the difference? Solid hardwood is the traditional version of hardwood flooring, featuring planks made from a single, solid piece of real wood. Engineered hardwood, on the other hand, is a layered wood floor made from thin slices of hardwood layered on top of another piece of high-quality wood composite such as plywood. Engineered wood is often more cost-effective and versatile, able to be installed on any grade, even in basements.
The durability of your hardwood is determined largely by the thickness of each plank, the wear layer and finish.
Standard hardwood planks come in a few different thicknesses. A ½-inch or 3/8-inch thickness is common for engineered hardwood planks, for instance. Solid hardwood floors, on the other hand, are much thicker – often ¾-inch with an added wear layer. This wear layer allows for additional refinishing. This is a selling point of solid hardwood over engineered. Engineered wood can often be sanded, but likely only a single treatment over its lifespan.

Hand Scraped
Hand-scraped hardwood provides a warm, soft look that adds age-old comfort and style to any home or business.
Distressed
Each plank is intentionally distressed to artistically simulate the marks left behind by age & wear. This look creates a balance of today's modern styles & the antiqued appearance of yesterday.
Wire Brushed
Wirebrushed hardwood floors gives your floors a simultaneously textured & smooth look. Brushes are used to pull soft grains up into the wood's surface for softness & comfort underfoot.
Smooth
Smooth hardwood provides a traditional feel for any home or business. This warm look can come in low, medium or high gloss finish, each with its own elegance & charm.
Distressed Hardwood
Today’s styles feature authentic, worn and rustic looks. Each unique style is achieved during the manufacturing process, through additional treatments made by hand or machine. Every plank goes through this process to give your new floor its own unique look and feel. One of today's most sought-after looks, the distressed wood look, is just one of the styles that require this unique process. To achieve this look, manufacturers put floors through various processes to give every plank the unique look of either antiqued, reclaimed, or hand-scraped woods found in floors built over past centuries. With this intricate process, the distressed wood look has become a much sought-after style that wouldn’t be achieved if done by hand.
