The
thickness allows for repeated sanding and refinishing throughout its
long life. Often cut from oak, maple, or black walnut, hardwood floor is
made from many types of domestic trees and from exotic hardwood.
Its
solid wood nature makes it subject to expansion and contraction based
on the relative humidity of the home. Installers compensate for this
natural property by first installing a sub floor, and nailing the wood
to the sub floor with a gap between the floor and the wall to allow for
expansion. It is best used above grade and not where water and humidity
might be a problem.
Engineered Hardwood Floor Services
offers a wood grain veneer over a layer of plywood or high-density
fiberboard (HDF) that may contain stone dust for durability. Three to
five layers thick, the wood is bonded to the base under extreme heat and
pressure to create a product that is usable in areas where humidity can
vary, such as kitchens, bathrooms, basements, or areas of the home
below grade. It remains stable regardless of humidity or temperature.
Laminate flooring
has the look, Graining, and color of hardwood and engineered wood, but
the wood pattern is created with a photographic process to replicate
different woods. The base of the flooring is fiberboard sandwiched
between two layers of melamine. Glued or locked into place, it is
flatter than wood products and it does not raise the floor height from
room to room. The product is also resistant to fading, resistant to
scratching and impact, and very easy to maintain. While it can withstand
surface water, continuous moisture can impact the core and affect
performance.
