 There are two basic types of hardwood floors, solid wood floors and engineered wood floors. Both are very beautiful and durable, but each has some limitations. Solid hardwood floors are usually installed during the initial construction of a home or commercial building and the types of solid hardwood available are much fewer than the engineered variety. They also have to be nailed down during installation, making sub-flooring a requirement if your base floor is concrete. If you like exotic hardwood floors, you may want to look into the engineered hardwood. Let’s take a look at the different types of hardwoods, how they are installed and some of the great choices out there to make your home more beautiful. Click here for more hardwood floor information

The image is coupled with advanced embossing that adds realistic texture to the floor surface. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish laminate from the material it is mimicking. Laminate also has an easy to clean surface that protects the floor from stains, fading or wear.
