What is Engineered Hardwood?

There is a slight difference in the appearance of solid and engineered hardwood. The real differences are in the construction of the plank.

• Solid hardwood flooring means whole panels of hardwood, without any special construction. You can refinish multiple times, so your solid hardwood can last for a lifetime.
• Engineered hardwood flooring contains three to seven layers of wood veneers pressed together cross-grain. This offsets wood’s tendency to expand or contract.
• Engineered hardwood is more stable with less seasonal gapping. The top layer of engineered hardwood is a premium layer of wood, giving it the appearance of solid hardwood.

What To Know Before Scheduling a Hardwood Installation

Depending on the type of hardwood flooring there are diverse installation locations. Consider our 100% waterproof hardwood, which has a durable vinyl sublayer and moisture-repellent surface.

Hardwood Flooring Installation

We recommend a professional installation. Below, we've listed a number of items to consider for your hardwood installation.

• Subfloor preparation is essential since unseen moisture under your floor planks can be disastrous.
• Most engineered hardwood comes in floating floors and locks together.
• Solid hardwood is glued or nailed down for a permanent installation.
• It is important to leave a gap between the base of the walls and the floors because hardwood naturally expands over time.
• Once all the planks are in place and installed, we'll check the surface to make sure there aren't any gaps between planks.

A Fine Balance: Hardwood and Humidity

The relative humidity level in your home ebbs and flows with the seasons, without intervention.

• A consistent relative humidity level is the key to happier hardwood.
• You can rely on tools such as humidistats or hydrometers to always obtain a 42 percent relative humidity level.
• Other items that can help accomplish this goal are insulated curtains and shades, air conditioners, and humidifiers.

Sanding and refinishing your hardwood floors are a valuable home improvement project that adds both beauty and value. Keep reading to learn more about the refinishing services and products we offer our customers.

Our Products & Process:

• Rest assured that we only use high-end commercial-based finishes to ensure a durable and long-lasting result.

Prepare For Your Hardwood Refinishing Service

Before the day of your service, it is recommended that the following items are completed:

1. All other trades should complete their work before sanding begins, and foot traffic should be restricted during the process.
2. Ensure the proper functioning of air conditioning, heating, and ventilation systems.
3. Maintain the temperature and relative humidity at "normal living conditions" to prevent excessive wood expansion or contraction. Use humidifiers as needed to regulate humidity levels within the recommended range.
4. Remove furniture, appliances, and old floor coverings unless otherwise specified.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing Expectations

We strive to minimize disruption and inconvenience for peace of mind and customer satisfaction. While we maintain a professional and quick turnaround for our customers, there may be some of the following items to consider:

• There will be noise and some vapors during the sanding and finishing process.
• While our advanced Dust Collection Systems minimize dust, a small amount may still be generated. We will contain the dust in the work area and ensure thorough clean-up throughout the process.
• Wood filler will be used to fill gaps, but there may be instances where the filler does not adhere perfectly in some areas.
• The color of the filler will closely match the natural wood, but due to variations within species, it may not match all planks uniformly.
• Previous damage like deep scratches, gouges, water stains, or pet stains may not be fully sanded out and should be addressed before refinishing.
• A minimal amount of "debris" settling into the finish is expected during curing due to particulates in the air. This will usually dissipate with normal foot traffic.
• Minor paint/stain touch-ups may be required for the base, shoe molding, and walls.
• If only a portion of the floor is refinished, there may be slight variations in color and sheen compared to the existing floor.
