When it comes to luxury flooring, “Solid Wood” is usually the first thing that comes to mind. However, with the technological advancements available at Floor Hub, “Engineered Wood” has emerged as a formidable rival. Here is your comprehensive guide to choosing between them based on your daily needs:

  • Solid Wood: The Charm of Authenticity
    This consists of planks made from 100% pure timber directly from the tree.
    – The Pros:
    It lasts for generations. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times to look brand new again, significantly increasing your property’s market value.
    – Best for you if:
    You are looking for a lifelong investment (50+ years) and love the raw, organic texture of wood that grows more beautiful with age.
  • Engineered Wood: The Genius of Design
    It is composed of multiple layers of compressed wood topped with a premium natural hardwood veneer.
    – The Pros:
    It is highly stable against humidity and temperature changes. It is less likely to warp or shrink compared to solid wood and offers more price flexibility. Plus, it’s easier to install using the “Click” system.
    – Best for you if:
    You live in a humid area or want the luxury look of natural wood with higher practical durability and faster installation.
