Hardwood Flooring Ottawa

When looking for hardwood there’s a question you need to ask yourself first: What room is the hardwood going in? This question is important because there are several types of hardwood. Solid hardwood is a solid piece of usually ¾’’ thick wood, installed by nailing, and it can be used in almost any room of the house that is not subject to varying temperatures and excessive moisture.

Engineered flooring comes in different thickness and is made of several layers of ply material pressed together with a thin layer of hardwood on top. Solid hardwood can’t be installed over concrete, whereas engineered flooring can be installed below grade or in condos, which is the reason it was developed. You can have the beauty of hardwood even in your basement or condo, right over the concrete. The structure of engineered hardwood creates less expansion, making it friendlier to the moisture below grade. Prices starting at $5.59 sf
