Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Understanding the difference between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood is key to choosing the right floor for your home in Burlington’s fluctuating climate.

 

Solid Hardwood Flooring

Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood, making it strong, durable, and full of character. Its thickness allows for multiple refinishes over the years, letting you refresh its appearance as styles change. Ideal for dry, quiet spaces above ground level, solid hardwood is perfect for:

 

  1. Living rooms
  2. Bedrooms
  3. Hallways
  4. Formal dining areas

However, solid wood is sensitive to moisture and not recommended for humid areas or basements.

 

Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Engineered hardwood offers the same authentic wood surface but is constructed from multiple layers for added strength and stability. Its cross-ply construction allows it to better resist moisture, expansion, and contraction—perfect for Burlington’s seasonal humidity. Engineered hardwood is perfect for areas like: 

 

  1. Living rooms
  2. Bedrooms
  3. Kitchens
  4. Offices
