Types of Hardwood Flooring

Types of Hardwood Flooring Offered

Artisan Floor Works offers various hardwood flooring options to suit any style. Solid hardwood floors are timeless and durable – they are milled from a single piece of wood (oak, maple, cherry, etc.) and can be sanded and refinished multiple times for a long-lasting investment. Engineered hardwood is built with layers of wood and plywood, giving it extra stability and moisture resistance; it can be installed over concrete or in basements. Both solid and engineered flooring come in many species, colors, and finishes – from classic oak with warm stains to exotic woods with a modern finish – giving you flexibility in stain and finish to match your decor.

Solid Hardwood

Traditional one-piece wood planks in various species and widths. They can be stained any color and refinished many times for lasting beauty.

Engineered Hardwood

Layered construction with a real wood veneer on top. It resists humidity and can be installed in more locations (like below-grade areas) while offering a natural wood look.
