Engineered hardwood uses a real wood surface layer bonded to a layered core, while solid hardwood is a single piece of wood throughout. Both give a home real wood floors. Luxury Solutions installs both and can help you compare them for your rooms.
What engineered hardwood offers
Engineered hardwood gives you the look and feel of real wood on the surface. Its layered construction is one reason it is offered in many plank widths and styles.
It is a common choice for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
What solid hardwood offers
Solid hardwood is wood from top to bottom. Many homeowners choose it for a classic floor, especially in traditional and older homes.
Some Bay Area homes already have original hardwood in some rooms, and homeowners want new floors that feel consistent.
Choosing between them
The subfloor, the rooms and the look you want all matter. Homes on concrete slabs and homes with wood subfloors can lead to different recommendations.
We review the space with you and explain the options in your estimate.
