Real Wood Flooring - Choosing The Best Wood Floor For The Home
Whenever you are about to lay new oak flooring in your property, it is best to get clued-up about the different kinds of flooring available out there. Otherwise it can be quite daunting to walk into a dealer’s store and face the countless kinds of flooring on display. But becoming familiar with wood floors is actually very simple, they belong to two major categories - engineered wood floors and solid wood floors. Let’s take a close look at these floor types.
The Composition Of Wood
The biggest difference between engineered and solid wood floors lies in their composition. The panels in solid wood floors are made of exactly that - solid wood. Essentially, a tree will be cut to produce timber planks which will be finished, kiln dried and then used to lay a floor.
Engineered wood, however, is made up of a number of thin layers of wood (multi-ply) pressed and then glued together to a precise thickness. They're then cut to create flooring panels. Engineered wooden flooring also comes with a top veneer of real wood that provides it with the look and feel of a solid hardwood floor.
How It Looks
As the two types of wood floors are quite different in composition, they likewise have completely different aesthetic appeals. Solid wood floors offer all of the traditional appeal of good old-fashioned timber. What you see is exactly what you get; there are no layers underneath or veneers on top.
Engineered wood floors, on the other hand, possess a man-made façade and you are able to pick out the sort of finish you want for your floor. Put simply, you can get an engineered wood floor to look like any kind of wood you would like for instance teak, oak, pine etc. Engineered wood floors have a number of designs to them too. The most typical ones tend to be plank, two strip and three strip. The three strip board is going to be visually split into three strips to create a much more detailed pattern. The two strip board comes with two strips whilst the plank is made up of just one board of wood. The plank is the most popular style due to its capability to visually open up the floor and create a feeling of space whilst the three strip style is the cheapest as it is made up of a great deal of waste wood sections in the upper most layer.
How Does It Behave?
So how do engineered and solid wood floors behave when compared? For the most part, solid wood floors will be more prone to be affected by changes in moisture and heat as opposed to engineered versions. They tend to expand and shrink considerably and are therefore hard to pre-cut to a stable dimension.
Engineered floor boards, on the other hand, are comparatively much more stable. Their multi-ply, cross-laid backing makes them more dimensionally stable and less prone to changes in length and width. For this reason, engineered floors can be used in places where solid wood cannot be installed.
How Easy Is It To Use?
Both kinds of hardwood floors are manufactured to withstand the test of the elements; both also have their limitations. Solid wood panels can resist moisture and staining; but as far as looks go, they are limited to the sort of tree they came from. In other words, you cannot make pine to look like oak and you cannot make oak to look like teak and so on.
Engineered wood boards, on the other hand, are specially pre-finished and treated to protect them from the elements and are a lot more resilient than solid wood boards under most circumstances. They also have attractive beveled edges and are manufactured to fit together easily. However wood connoisseurs maintain that in high traffic areas of your home, nothing compares to solid wood as the planks are thicker, sturdier and can bear being worn and sanded down over time.
Installation And Costs
Over all, you will find that engineered hardwood floors are relatively cheaper to purchase and lay down in comparison to real hardwood floors. This is because engineered hardwood floors are designed to be easily installed; they are also manufactured using cost-effective techniques that make them more affordable for most buyers.
Having said that, the selection of wood flooring is eventually down to personal choice. Each floor has its own pros and cons and it is down to you what you want to install around your home.
