Hello, my name is Joe. Welcome to HomeTips.com. Today we’re going to be talking about engineered hardwood flooring strategies for beginners and I hope that this blog post will prove helpful for anyone who’s interested in getting a new floor but doesn’t know where to start or what the difference between laminate and hardwood really is.
To start, it’s important to know that there are two very different types of flooring: Laminate and Hardwood Flooring. Laminate flooring is made from a thin layer of wood veneer that’s laminated onto a layer of solid wood. It can be a hardwood floor and it can also mimic other materials such as tile or stone.
Laminate is a great choice for people who want the look and feel of hardwood, but don’t want to go through the hassle of dealing with natural wood floors.
Hardwood flooring, as you might expect, comes from real wood. Hardwood is a natural product and has been around for centuries. As much as we love the look of hardwood floors, the thing that most people don’t realize about them is that they require a lot of work and maintenance to keep them looking great. They’re durable, but not indestructible.
If you want to prevent damage that could happen to your hardwood flooring, it’s best to keep an eye on the color of the wood so you know what would be a good choice for certain types of floors.
The way hardwood flooring is made is through the use of special machinery which measures and cuts precise strips of wood from live trees. This is a long process and can be time-consuming.
The type of wood that’s used for hardwood flooring is another important consideration and one that you should keep in mind while you’re shopping. There are many different types of wood out there, so it’s worth your time to spend some time researching the best options out there.
The durability of an engineered hardwood floor depends a lot on how it was made and what type of wood they were able to get their hands on. Some of the most durable hardwood floors are made from Brazilian cherry and they are highly resistant to both water and oil.
I hope this information will help you as you start looking for your new floor. A lot of times people don’t know where to start, so research is key. I personally have an engineered hardwood floor in my home and I couldn’t be happier with it.
Let me know if you have any questions!
