FAQs
What is Hardwood?
Hardwood is a natural and versatile material that has been used for centuries in various applications, most commonly in the construction and furniture industries. It is derived from deciduous trees that shed their leaves annually, such as oak, maple, walnut, and cherry, just to name a few. The term "hardwood" refers to the density and strength of the wood, rather than its actual hardness.
What is the maintenance for Hardwood?
Regular cleaning is crucial for preserving the shine and durability of your hardwood floors. Sweep or vacuum them daily to remove dust, dirt, and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with a hardwood floor attachment to avoid causing any damage. Additionally, use doormats at all entrances to trap dirt and prevent it from being tracked onto your floors.
Why choose Hardwood?
One of the undeniable advantages of hardwood floors is their ability to effortlessly enhance the look and feel of any space. In addition to their visual appeal, hardwood floors also bring a host of practical benefits. Known for their exceptional durability, hardwood floors can withstand heavy foot traffic, making them a perfect choice for active households or commercial spaces. They are highly resistant to scratches, dents, and stains, ensuring that your floors remain beautiful and maintain their value for years to come.

Engineered v. Solid Hardwood
-
Engineered
Engineered hardwood is made from layers of wood, with a real hardwood veneer on top and a plywood or high-density fiberboard core. It's more stable and resistant to humidity than solid hardwood, making it suitable for various environments. Engineered hardwood looks like real wood, can be installed in multiple ways, is generally more affordable, and can sometimes be refinished depending on the thickness of the veneer thickness.
-
Solid
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of natural wood. Each plank is milled from a single piece of timber, making it highly durable and capable of being sanded and refinished multiple times. Solid hardwood is known for its timeless beauty and can last for decades if properly maintained. However, it is sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature, which can cause it to expand or contract.
