Solid wood is just that – one piece that is milled from lumber. It comes in a variety
of widths, from 2-1/4" to 5" wide. It also comes in different thicknesses: 3/4" is
standard, but you can also find "thin profile" solid that is 5/16" thick.

Engineered wood is real wood, but instead of one solid piece it consists of three
to 10 thin layers of wood, called plies, that are assembled and glued in a cross-ply
construction. The top layer of wood can range from 1/16" to 1/6" thick. Overall board
thickness ranges from 1/4" to 3/4". Due to its multi-ply structure, engineered wood
is much more stable than solid wood and is less susceptible to shrinking and
expanding with changes in temperatures and humidity.

Where is the room?

Knowing where the floor will be installed is essential. Before choosing a floor, determine if the room is above, on or below ground level (grade). Mohawk Engineered Hardwood Floors can be used in most areas in the home including rooms below, on or above ground level. Solid wood floors are approved for above ground-level installations only. These floors perform better in humidity-controlled environments.

mess and additional costs
of tearing out the old floor.

Many species of hardwood change color over time, after exposure to sunlight. The degree of change depends upon the species of the wood: for example, cherry changes color quickly and dramatically when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light.
