The pros and cons of hardwood flooring:

Have your heart set on natural wood surfacing? Dreaming of how it can enhance your home? Here are some things to consider:

Solid hardwood

Pros:

• Can be sanded down several times during its lifetime to remove scratches and stains;
• Easy daily maintenance with sweeper or vacuum
• Available in many colors, textures, and appearances to suit your preferences and design décor.

Cons:

• Can be more pricey than other floor coverings
• Not suggested for high moisture areas (i.e. bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms)
• Spills need prompt clean up to prevent water damage
• Wet-mopping not possible
• Over time, can buckle and warp due to moisture/water exposure, contraction, and expansion.

Engineered hardwood

Pros:

• Looks identical to hardwood at a lower cost (made by gluing together several wood layers with the topmost layer being hardwood);
• Because of layering process, has more stability to handle potential gaps, buckling and cupping from expansion and contraction;
• Sanding may be an option but depends on the thickness of the top layer;
• Easy daily maintenance with sweeper or vacuum;
• Available in many colors, textures, and appearances to suit your preferences and design décor.

Cons:

• Not suggested for high moisture areas (i.e. bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms)
