Vancouver Hardwood Flooring
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Milled from a single piece of wood, solid hardwood flooring is a natural product that reacts to fluctuations in temperature and moisture by expansion and contraction. Therefore, we recommend that solid hardwood is only used in areas with little moisture to reduce the risk of the floor suffering from these conditions. For this reason, solid hardwood isn’t advised for basements, given the high moisture levels below grade. The method of installing solid hardwood is by nailing it to plywood subfloors. Solid hardwood comes in various widths, but it is always 3/4″ thick and can be typically sanded up to three times based on industry standards. Sanding and refinishing hardwood floors is a technical and time-consuming procedure where you’d have to open up the wood grains properly. With the interior design trends moving towards wider planks and the manufacturers improving their anti-scratch finishes, this old-school practice is slowly getting phased out with its limitations, especially on the West Coast.


Engineered Wood Flooring
Engineered hardwood is constructed from a solid wood top layer attached to a core of several wood layers (or plies), which have been stacked and glued together under pressure. Engineered hardwood is designed to be much more stable regarding expansions and contractions due to temperature and humidity changes over time. It’s worth mentioning that the thickness of the top wear layer in engineered hardwood is not the only indication of quality. Factors such as the type and strength of the finish, anti-scratch coating, or engineered core construction can easily be overlooked. Engineered hardwood can still be stapled on the plywood subfloor, similar to solid hardwood if needed. However, what makes them unique is the fact that they can also be glued or floated on concrete subfloors. This allows the ability to use hardwood flooring in condos, basements, or applications that we traditionally are not allowed to.
