Flooring Options: From Hardwood to Tile

Hardwood flooring is a popular choice for many homeowners, offering two main types: solid and engineered hardwood. Solid hardwood is crafted from a single piece of wood, allowing for multiple sandings and refinishing over its lifetime, making it a durable and long-lasting option. On the other hand, engineered hardwood consists of a real wood veneer top layer bonded to multiple layers of plywood or fiberboard, providing enhanced stability and resistance to changes in humidity and temperature.

Beyond hardwood, there are other flooring options such as laminate, vinyl, and tile. Laminate flooring features a core of high-density fiberboard (HDF) topped with a photographic image of wood or stone and a protective overlay, combining durability with aesthetic appeal. Vinyl flooring comes in various forms, including sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), offering versatile designs that can mimic the look of hardwood or stone. Tile flooring remains a classic choice, known for its robustness and wide range of styles.

General contractors provide comprehensive services for various types of flooring, including installation, repair, and maintenance. The choice of flooring material can vary widely, from hardwood and laminate to tile, carpet, and more eco-friendly options like bamboo and cork. Each type of flooring has its own set of characteristics, installation requirements, and maintenance needs, which contractors are equipped to handle.
