We get a lot of questions about floor construction and hope we can take away some of the confusion regarding hardwood floor milling. First of all hardwood flooring either comes solid or engineered (veneer over plywood) .

SOLID VS. ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORING

Why choose solid hardwood flooring?

Pre-finished floors take away from messy sanding jobs that take several days after installation to finish and dry. They generally have harder more durable finishes applied at the factory. They are very well made and offer a beautiful floor guaranteed to last for years. Most factory finished hardwood floors have 6-10 coats of a ultra-violet cured urethane applied to the wood's surface. Also, recently, Aluminum and Ceramic particles are added directly to the floor's finish by manufacturers, which dramatically increases the life of the urethane finish.
