Everyone dreams of having a perfect hardwood floor in their living room or bedroom. However, when we start to get into that world to know all the possibilities, it can be a bit tedious not knowing the differences that exist.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have probably heard of terms like Engineered or Solid Hardwood<\/strong> and may not known their different characteristics. For this reason, in this new post on our blog,<\/a> we will tell you everything you need to know about these two excellent options.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Here you can see both types of floors inside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What they are made about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, both types of flooring are made of real wood,<\/strong> they are not synthetic<\/strong> products that are visible to the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference is that solid hardwood is 100% solid wood<\/strong> and Engineered Hardwood<\/a> has a layer of solid wood on top and cross layers of plywood below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance and durability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this section, both options are highly reliable. Both kinds of flooring are generally made from high-quality materials and tested<\/strong> before being put on the market. We now have the most trustworthy items thanks to years and years of advancement in the industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, if this is an area you are more inclined towards, we can recommend Engineered Hardwood, because, unlike Solid Hardwood<\/a>, it does not need constant maintenance to prevent damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
In good condition, your hardwood floors will shine for years and years. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Colors y styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another benefit of technical development is that as the market grows, more styles may be produced and made available<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t matter if you prefer them darker, lighter or in a particular wood.<\/strong> See for yourself<\/a> the many options we have available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you heard of Hardwood Refinishing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, the engineered hardwoods also have the possibility of undergoing treatments to be like new, even if several years have passed since their installation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are talking about Refinishing or sanded processes.<\/a><\/strong> While it will be a long time before you have to perform maintenance like this, know that we are the best at what we do and if you hire us,<\/strong> you will be more than satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of floor styles to choose from. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
