Solid Hardwood Flooring |
Solid wood flooring is made from one continuous piece of wood and is
available in strips, planks and
parquet squares. Wood strips are anywhere from 1 ½” to about 2 ¼”
wide. Planks are wider than 2¼”.
Generally, a solid hardwood floor is a ¾” thick plank that is in
narrow 2 ¼” strips. However, they can be
manufactured in a variety of widths and thicknesses.
Solid flooring gives you a great opportunity for customization. Your
choice of species, stains, and
finishes all contribute to the personalization of a solid floor.
You can get your wood floor either unfinished or prefinished.
Unfinished flooring offers unlimited color
stain options. Prefinished wood flooring features a factory-applied
finish.
Because solid wood is sensitive to moisture, we do not recommend
installing a solid wood floor below
ground level or directly over a concrete slab. These floors are
generally for nail down installations only.
Consult with our Onondaga Flooring experts to select the
floor that is just right for you.

Engineered Flooring |
Engineered wood flooring is made from layers of wood
stacked and glued together under heat and
pressure. There are usually three to seven layers
(plies) stacked with grains running perpendicular to
each other. The top finish layer can be cut from a
variety of domestic or exotic hardwood species and
are
generally factory prefinished with a polyurethane or
an aluminum oxide finish.
All woods expand and contract with heat and
humidity. Engineered wood is more dimensionally
stable
than solid hardwood because the layers keep the
movement in balance.
Because it is less inclined to swell and shrink,
engineered wood can be installed in areas where
solid
wood cannot such as over concrete or in
high-moisture areas. It can easily be used in
kitchens, powder
rooms and utility rooms.
Engineered floors will range from 5/16” to 9/16” in
thickness and from 2 ¼” to 7” in width. Installation
can be glued, floated, nailed or stapled.

Exotic Hardwood Flooring |
|
Exotic hardwood is the term used to describe
hardwood species from around the world. Exotic
hardwood species come from Australia, Africa, South
America and the Far East. Exotic hardwoods offer
unique wood graining and color variations. Most
exotic woods are available in engineered wood
construction, but some are available in solid
hardwood planks as well. Bamboo, Amendoim and Jatoba
are examples of exotic hardwood.
