Hardwood floor has two types, the multi-layered hardwood flooring and the single-layer hardwood flooring. The multi-layered hardwood flooring is well engineered with at least three layers of hard planks. Each strip of wood is perpendicularly glued to each other to become more stable and durable. It is also known as engineered hardwood flooring. On the other hand, the single-layer hardwood flooring is made of a solid piece of wood. There is no intervention of any engineering process except timber cutting.
It is said that cheap is expensive and this is the principle every home owner should apply when shopping for wooden floors. There are two types of timber namely softwood and hardwood. Softwood is cheap but is not durable when compared to hardwood. It therefore goes without saying that hardwood is the most appropriate material for wooden floors. The durability means that you will spend huge amounts of money on new installations every now and then.
