Hardwood Flooring Information Center
Solid hardwood floors have been used for centuries because of their natural
beauty and durability, while engineered wood flooring has recently become
popular due to its ability to be installed below ground level while maintaining a
real wood look and feel. Unlike laminate flooring, hardwood floors can be
refinished in order to bring back their natural warmth and luster. Solid floors can
last a lifetime maintaining their beauty for years to come making them a timeless
investment that, like ceramic tile, adds value to your home.
One main appeal of hardwood is the variety of species available including Oak,
Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Pecan, Pine, Beech, Birch, Walnut, and more. While
laminate floors can mimic the looks of these woods, only hardwood has the
natural warmth and feel of each in both finished and unfinished options. With the
wide range of species available hardwood flooring offers the perfect match to
any room in any home. Both engineered and solid floors are available in strip,
plank and parquet styles, to achieve the best look for their environment.
Hardwood Floors offer several installation choices ranging from nail, staple or
glue down methods as well as some free floating options depending on your
needs.

Laminate Floors
Laminate is a floor covering that appears similar to hardwood but is made with a
plywood or medium density fiberboard ("MDF") core with a plastic laminate top
layer. Laminate may be more durable than hardwood, but cannot be refinished like
hardwood. Laminate flooring is available in many different patterns which can
resemble different woods or even ceramic tile. It usually locks or taps together.
Laminate flooring has become the floor of choice for many homeowners in the past
several years. There are many good reasons for this. Notably, it needs very little
maintenance (unlike carpet), it is incredibly durable, and it comes in a vast array of
colors/styles. Since being introduced to the US back in 1982

Relative Hardness Ratings
For domestic and exotic wood flooring species
The Janka (or side) hardness test measures the force required to embed a .444 inch steel ball
to half its diameter in wood. This is one of the best measures of the ability of wood species to
withstand denting and wear. It is also a good indicator of how hard a species is to saw or nail.
The higher the number the harder the wood
