Types of Hardwood Floors

What type of wood floor is right for your household? Tell us about your lifestyle and we’ll help you select the perfect flooring. We consider your lifestyle, children, and pets. There are two basic types of wood floors to consider:

• Engineered Wood Flooring—When you’re looking for strong, durable flooring, opt for engineered hardwood flooring. This flooring material is constructed of multiple layers for the ultimate strength and dependability. Clients who have pets and children should consider engineered floors for a lasting aesthetic.

• Solid Wood Flooring—There’s nothing quite like the sophisticated aesthetic of wood floors. Solid wood flooring evokes a rich texture that lasts throughout the generations.

Benefits of Laminate Floors

Looking for a floor that offers the same aesthetic as hardwood but is easier to maintain? Consider laminate floors for rooms throughout your home. Laminate tiles from Flooring Canada are designed to give you an elegant look without stretching your budget.

Do you have children and pets? Laminate flooring is ideal for high-traffic households where scuffs and scratches may compromise the integrity of solid or engineered hardwood floors. Simply use a cloth, mop, or sponge to remove spills and stains with laminate wood flooring, which is constructed of the following layers:

• Protective Film
• Wood Core
• Backing Layer
• Design Layer
