What Is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?
Whether engineered or solid wood, both bring warmth and timeless beauty to your space. However, engineered hardwood’s unique construction makes it more versatile for installation in basements, over concrete, or in rooms where moisture might be an issue.
At Clark’s Hardwood Floors, we use premium materials to create custom wood floors tailored to your home or business, helping you achieve the perfect balance of style and performance.
What Is Solid Wood Flooring?
Solid wood flooring is milled from a single piece of hardwood and is typically ¾ inch thick, allowing it to be sanded and refinished many times throughout its lifespan. It’s available in a variety of wood species, including oak, maple, hickory, and walnut, and can be customized in strip, plank, or parquet styles to suit your design preferences.
Unlike engineered wood, solid wood must be installed over a dry, level subfloor and is generally not recommended for areas prone to moisture, such as basements. However, its richness, depth, and longevity make it a top choice for homeowners and business owners seeking a premium finish.
As a trusted solid wood flooring company, we offer custom wood floors that reflect your vision and enhance your space, whether it’s classic, contemporary, or unique.

Solid Hardwood vs Engineered Wood vs Vinyl Flooring
Choosing the right flooring depends on your needs, location, and aesthetic goals. Here’s how solid wood flooring compares to other popular options:
Solid Hardwood vs Engineered Wood
- Durability: Solid wood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, making it a lifelong investment. Engineered wood typically allows 1–3 refinishes, depending on the veneer thickness.
- Installation: Solid wood requires nail-down or staple-down installation, usually over a wooden subfloor. Engineered wood offers more flexibility, including floating and glue-down methods.
- Environment: Solid wood is ideal for temperature-controlled, low-humidity environments. Engineered wood performs better in fluctuating conditions like basements or over concrete.
- Value: Though solid wood flooring cost is often higher upfront, it offers better long-term value and resale appeal.
Solid Hardwood vs Vinyl Flooring
- Material: Solid wood is 100% natural hardwood, while vinyl is a synthetic alternative that mimics the look of wood or stone.
- Durability: Vinyl is completely waterproof and highly resistant to scratches—great for high-moisture or heavy-use areas. Solid wood requires more care but offers unmatched elegance.
- Lifespan: Vinyl may last 10–20 years, whereas solid wood can last 50+ with proper care and refinishing.
- Refinishing: Vinyl cannot be refinished. Solid wood can be sanded and stained repeatedly.
