Hardwood flooring in Portsmouth, NH from Portsmouth Quality Flooring

What are the two types of hardwood flooring?


When you hear "hardwood flooring," you likely think about solid wood materials. But there's another type that's as popular and offers impressive benefits.

As you search for the perfect materials for your floor, extra information can go a long way. And you'll want to know about all your options.

Solid hardwood flooring facts

Solid hardwood offers the most extended lifespan, with over 100 years of service. It's natural wood, through and through, and offers incredible durability.

Engineered harwoood flooring facts

Engineered wood flooring is also a natural wood product with durable construction—layers of plywood feature a top layer of authentic wood for impressive results.

Comparing the two

Solid wood lasts much longer than the 30 years you can expect from engineered materials. But that still makes engineered flooring a worthy investment.

You might never need to replace engineered floors, even in high-traffic areas. And you can refinish them up to several times, depending on how thick they are.
