Wood flooring is timeless – it doesn’t fail to give the look of warmth, coziness and sophistication. Any pattern, design or type of wood would never go out of style.

As natural wood flooring is difficult to acquire nowadays and especially since some wood species are endangered, a variety of modern alternatives have been made to replicate its splendor.

Solid Wood
Solid wood or hardwood flooring pertains to real wooden planks. Available in unfinished and pre-finished types, it covers a great amount of wood species with different tones, wood grain patterns, and figure patterns. The main advantage of solid wood is that it can be re-sanded then refinished many times after installation. However, installing solid wood required a wooden sub-floor where it is nailed to because it cannot be directly attached to a concrete floor. Also, when choosing solid wood flooring, pick the one that has been treated with anti-insect treatments. And as wood tends to shrink over time, it is good to use factory-finished or kiln-dried wood.
