Learn about the two main types of hardwood flooring available at our flooring store — solid hardwood flooring and engineered hardwood flooring. 

Solid Hardwood Flooring for Long-Lasting Beauty

With solid wood, planks or strips of solid wood are milled from a single board of the wood species of your choice. These floor coverings consist of that same species through and through. Because of this, you can sand and refinish hardwood several times. With refinishing, solid wood lasts up to 100 years.

Engineered Wood Flooring Offers Versatility in Placement

Instead of solid wood, your space may be better suited to engineered hardwood flooring. These floors consist of layered construction to provide installation versatility. On the top is a veneer of the wood species of your choice. This is bonded to several layers of high-density fiberboard. These manufacturing improvements enable homeowners to install engineered wood in rooms with high levels of moisture, such as the basement, bathroom, or kitchen. Our Covington customers find engineered wood floors hold up particularly well in Louisiana’s highly humid climate.
