Hardwood flooring is a timeless choice, but with the region's humid summers and frosty winters, there are a few key considerations to keep it looking its best.
Solid and engineered hardwood flooring may look identical, but their differences run deeper than appearances. Here’s what sets them apart:
Solid hardwood is the classic choice, crafted from a single piece of premium wood for unmatched durability and timeless appeal. Built to stand the test of time, each plank can be refinished repeatedly, preserving its beauty for decades. However, solid hardwood requires careful handling and isn’t suitable for below-grade installations like basements.
Engineered hardwood offers a modern alternative with impressive versatility. Constructed with multiple layers of compressed wood and topped with a layer of premium hardwood, it captures the elegance of traditional hardwood while offering enhanced practicality. Engineered floors can be installed in nearly any room, including finished basements, and some versions can even be refinished once or twice, extending their lifespan.
Over time, even the most durable hardwood floors in Doylestown homes can lose their shine due to daily wear, scratches, and sunlight exposure. Hardwood refinishing is an excellent way to restore its original beauty without needing a full replacement. In a town like Doylestown—where historic charm and classic design are highly valued—refinishing allows homeowners to preserve the authenticity of older hardwood floors while giving them a fresh, updated look. Professional refinishing services can sand away imperfections, repair minor damage, and apply new finishes that enhance durability and style.
Hardwood flooring is a timeless choice, but it’s not typically recommended for kitchens or bathrooms due to moisture concerns. However, the advent of waterproof engineered hardwood is quickly changing the game! Curious about your options? Our experts are ready to assist with professional hardwood installation services and help you explore a wide range of stunning hardwood styles. The most popular areas for hardwood flooring include:
