Hardwood Grading
Hardwood Grading
Hardwood can be sorted by the natural hardness of the species of wood used. This is known as its grading. Hardwoods stand up to heavy foot traffic, last longer, are typically darker in color, and are also more expensive up front. This includes species such as maple, oak, and walnut. Softwoods are more flexible and are also more prone to dents and scratches. It is lighter in color and less expensive. It includes species such as spruce and pine.
Solid vs. Engineered
Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood
Solid hardwood is more traditional. This is when each plank is single piece of solid, harvested wood, usually 3/4-inch thick. It can be refinished repeatedly. Engineered hardwood, on the other hand, is manufactured by layering several pieces of wood to form a single plank. This plank will consist of a thin piece of solid hardwood on top of a thick layer of high-quality plywood or some other wood composite. Engineered hardwood cannot be refinished more than once or two before it will need to be replaced entirely.

While technically not necessary, underlayment plays a critical role in the health and performance of your hardwood flooring. It evens out subfloor imperfections, it cushions your step while absorbing noise, it insulates your flooring, and it adds moisture resistance—something very beneficial for hardwood!
