Choosing the right flooring kind can add aesthetics and value to a residential or commercial space. Wooden flooring gets used in luxurious residential projects because it is extremely expensive. Today, majority of homeowners prefer marble or tile flooring. Wooden flooring cost is initially high, but its pros will outweigh this costly price tag.

First let’s get familiar with the wooden flooring types, wood floor installation, as well as its pros and cons.

  1. Hardwood flooring

Hardwood flooring can expand 30% more than its counterparts [engineered wood], so it is thoroughly seasoned to allow such expansion. The solid wood surface is coated seven times with formaldehyde acrylic lacquer, UV-cured, which makes it dust-free, stain-free, and scratch-resistant. Solid wooden flooring is of three types – Strip, Plank, and Parquet flooring.

  1. Engineered wood flooring

Several layers are combined and the top layer is designed from real hardwood. The other layers are of spruce and pine. This allows engineered flooring to handle the moisture and fluctuating temperatures with ease. You get engineered wooden floors in a variety of colors.

  1. Laminate wood flooring

You get the feel of a real wooden floor with laminate flooring. It is a blend of layers, which offer durability and moisture resistance. Besides, HD pictures of natural wooden flooring are used to design laminate flooring. The finishing is done with an extremely strong and clear coating designed from resin-coated cellulose material. It protects the laminate from impacts and extends its lifespan. You get a low maintenance and cost flooring that resembles wood flooring.
