Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood through the whole plank. If cared for properly, a solid hardwood floor can last for decades. Solid hardwood flooring can also be sanded down and refinished more than once, meaning scrapes and wear can be cleaned off without removing the planks.
Engineered hardwood is made from layers of plywood or similar materials with a solid veneer on the outside, and generally the more economic option. Engineered hardwood is also more resistant to temperature and humidity changes than solid hardwood.
White oak hardwood is a popular choice around Logan for its clear grain pattern, and ability to withstand seasonal movement. Oak is durable enough for active households, and pairs beautifully with contemporary mountain and rustic styles.
Maple hardwood has a rich, warm color and minimal pattern which makes it a favorite choice for a more modern design.
Hickory hardwood stands out as an especially sturdy hardwood, and pairs pronounced color variations with a rustic feel that lends well to cabins and rural inspiration.
A rustic, wire-brush finish brings out the coarse country character of hardwood and pairs with light, natural tones to combine the rugged outdoor character of the West with a soft, domestic glow.
Professional installation of hardwood flooring helps ensure durability and value can remain for decades. Hardwood flooring reacts to seasonal humidity and temperature more than other kinds of flooring, making proper spacing and treatment especially important.
First, the installer will remove the previous floor and inspect the subfloor for damage, debris, or instability. Any weak spots or damaged sections will be repaired before the flooring process begins. While the subfloor is being inspected and repaired, the hardwood will be delivered to the jobsite to give the wood a chance to acclimate to the temperature and moisture of the interior. If a moisture barrier is needed, it will be installed before the floor.
When the subfloor is secure and the materials are present, the installer will plan the layout of the floor, laying out the boards to determine the best direction and alignment. The flooring may be secured with nails, glue, or snap together in a "floating" installation. The installer will leave expansion gaps around walls and fixed objects. The final row is cut to snugly fit while maintaining the expansion gap, then shoe molding and transition strips are added, finishing the installation process.
How does hardwood hold up in Logan's dry climate?
Hardwood can handle the temperature and humidity (and lack thereof) of Utah's climate with the right upkeep, but the species and treatment of the wood will play a major role in how responsive boards are to the climate.
Is engineered hardwood better than solid hardwood for Utah homes?
Many professional installers recommend engineered hardwood for Utah homes, as it displays less seasonal movement than solid hardwood planks.
What hardwood is best for homes with pets?
White oak and hickory hardwood floors are popular with pet owners due to the density and strength of the wood to resist scratches and scuffs from claws.
