Why is Choosing the Right Flooring Important?
Flooring is not just a part of home décor; it’s a surface you interact with daily. Choosing the right type enhances comfort and adds value to your home.
Key Differences Between Engineered and Solid Wood Flooring
- Stability
- Engineered wood flooring resists warping and is ideal for underfloor heating or humid climates.
- Solid wood flooring is prone to changes in humidity and temperature, requiring more maintenance.
- Installation
- Engineered wood can be floated, glued, or even installed over existing floors.
- Solid wood typically requires nailing or gluing, making installation more complex.
- Cost and Durability
- Engineered wood is usually more affordable and highly durable.
- Solid wood is pricier but can be refinished multiple times.
Which One is Right for You?
- If you value budget, underfloor heating compatibility, and low maintenance, engineered wood is a better choice.
- If you love the feel of natural wood and are willing to invest in maintenance, solid wood is ideal.
