Engineered Hardwood Flooring in Austin Texas

Engineered Wood Flooring in Austin VS. Solid Wood

Engineered flooring is a criss cross plywood with the top layer is the real wood floor that is being represented. This type of wood floor can be used below grade and above grade. This makes a perfect floor because its very stable. The criss cross layers below the solid piece of wood acts as a stable foundation, making it very stable against moisture and elevated levels of humidity. It acts as a 3 to 1 or 3:1 moisture beerier between your concrete and wood floor. Most engineered flooring have pretty good thick tops you can sand just as much as a solid. You can't sand past the tongue, solid or engineered. Plus most if not all engineered wood floor finishes are heat treated at the factory, making the finish 4 times stronger that traditional poly-urethane. That's the reason why most engineered hardwoods come with a 20 - 30 year wear warranty on the finish. The heat treated process cannot be duplicated on site. The showroom has a big selection of the finest of engineered hardwoods at a good cost. Prices may very between $2.00 to $9.00 a sq. ft. for materials. Installation costs may vary from $2.00 to $2.50 a square ft.

Solid Hardwoods
A solid pre-finished wood is when a plank is solid from top to bottom. This plank gets nailed down on a wooden sub-floor. It cannot be installed on a concrete slab. A solid wood floor is only designed to be nailed on a peer and beam. Because it may contract easily, an expansion gap is required. Solid wood floors are meant to get nailed down on top of peer and beam sub-floor. Floor Companies install 3/4" inch plywood on top of concrete floors all the time and nail down the solid hardwood on top of the plywood to simulate engineered hardwoods. This would act as a base so that a solid can be nailed down onto the plywood. Although this method is practiced on top of a concrete flooring, this method is not recommended by us in anyway. Solids are meant to be nailed on top of pear and beam foundations where the building is constantly breathing and is not dependant upon an A / C unit to keep it ventilated. Any house that has a concrete floor, will always depend on the A / C unit to keep the artificial environment consistent. Once this changes for any reason, your solid wood floor can over expand and do what is called cupping. So do not install solids on concrete or in a house that has concrete.
