Solid Oak Flooring

Solid oak flooring, prized for its timeless aesthetic and durability, is a top choice among our offerings. Its longevity is one of its key attributes, as solid oak floors can improve with age and can be sanded and refinished multiple times, thus enhancing your property's value.

However, we want our customers to be aware of certain drawbacks, such as the higher cost, detailed installation process, and susceptibility to scratches, dents, and water damage. We recommend regular sweeping and vacuuming to maintain its pristine look, and refinishing the flooring every few years.

Engineered Wood Flooring

As an alternative to solid oak, engineered wood flooring offers enhanced durability, stability, and resistance to moisture. Comprising a real wood top layer and a stable plywood base, this is a more affordable and versatile option compared to solid oak flooring. Among various wooden materials, engineered wood flooring is a popular choice.

Advantages of engineered wood flooring include:

- Easy maintenance

- A broad range of choices

- Increased property value

- Eco-friendly

Its quick and efficient installation process makes engineered wood flooring a preferred choice for those seeking a cost-effective hardwood flooring solution.
