Which Hardwood Flooring Option Is Right for Your Space?
- Solid hardwood: Crafted from a single piece of wood, it can be refinished multiple times, ensuring longevity. Because it’s one solid plank, it performs best in climate-stable, dry areas where humidity and temperature stay more consistent.
- Engineered hardwood: Built with multiple layers for added stability. That layered construction helps reduce movement like warping, gaping, or buckling, which is why engineered hardwood is often the better choice for condos, concrete subfloors, and more humid areas such as kitchens or basements. Some engineered options can also work with radiant heating.
Wood Species and Finishes
Each wood type offers unique aesthetics and properties:
01
Oak
Known for its strength, durability, and natural grain patterns, oak hardwood flooring matures into a warm golden tone over time. Oak comes in both red and white.
02
Ash
Recognized for its distinct contrast between light and dark grains. As it ages, it develops a rich, warm hue.
03
Birch
A softer wood with a pale, shimmering colour that deepens over time, though less suitable for high-traffic areas.
04
Walnut
A strong and dense hardwood with intricate details, and rich colours that get lighter over time.
05
Maple
A versatile and resilient hardwood known for its smooth grain and light, creamy colour that deepens with age.
06
Hickory
A robust and durable hardwood characterized by its striking grain patterns and rich, warm hues that become more pronounced over time.
Choosing the Right Hardwood for Each Room
Different rooms have different needs—here’s a quick guide to help you pick the best option for you:
01
Living & dining
Solid hardwood like oak, walnut or maple – durable and elegant for high-traffic areas.
02
Bedrooms
Engineered or solid hardwood like oak or maple – comfortable and stable with a soft, natural look.
03
Kitchens
Solid hardwood or engineered such as maple or oak – durable and suited for this common space.
04
Basements
We recommend putting in luxury vinyl planks due to the concrete floor and moisture. However, if hardwood is still preferred, this would only be done with the appropriate underlayment, such as dry core, plywood substrate, and self-levelling concrete, etc.
05
Hallways & entryways
Solid wood with a brushed finish – tough and hides scuffs well.
06
Home office
Engineered hardwood with a matte finish – stylish with reduced glare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hardwood is a long-term flooring choice, and a few practical details can make comparing options much easier. These answers focus on product basics, finishes, and everyday care, so you can make a confident decision.
01
What Is Hardwood Flooring?
Hardwood flooring is made from real wood and comes in many species and formats. It is commonly manufactured as solid hardwood (one piece of wood) or engineered hardwood (layers bonded together).
02
What Can I Use to Clean My Hardwood Floors?
A quick daily sweep with a soft broom or similar tool helps remove grit that can wear down the finish. For spills, wipe promptly with a soft cloth and use a hardwood-safe cleaner if needed.
03
Can I Steam Clean Hardwood Floors?
No, steam cleaning and excess moisture can damage hardwood and may void some warranties. For safe care, stick to methods and products designed specifically for hardwood.
04
How Do I Protect Hardwood Floors from Furniture Scratches?
Use felt pads under chair and table legs so furniture glides more gently. Area rugs can also add cushioning in high-use spots while still showing off the wood.
05
What Is the Difference Between Staining, Finishing, and Refinishing?
Staining changes the wood’s colour, usually to a darker tone. Finishing adds a protective top layer, and refinishing means renewing the existing finish to refresh the floor’s appearance.
