Types of Wood Flooring
Wood flooring types do not refer to the various types of wood species that determine the pattern and color of the floor. It refers to how materials combine by incorporating vinyl, genuine hardwood, wood composite, or synthetic wood with veneers.
Our hardwood floors have a distinct natural beauty that complements any décor. Below are the five major types of hardwood floors;
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is one of the most sought-after floor types as it is adaptable and available in many designs and finishes. Vinyl tends to be highly resilient and can therefore simulate various designs, including marble, hardwood, ceramic, and stone. It is highly durable and versatile, and works well in home and commercial interiors.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring features a multilayer synthetic flooring finish fused through the lamination process. It is a surface that simulates wood using a photographic applique layer. You can install this flooring type in studies, living rooms, and playrooms. Some laminate floors are waterproof and can get used in kitchens and bathrooms.
Parquet Flooring
Parquet flooring is known for its decorative effect. It gets laid in an angular, geometric style featuring squares, triangles, and lozenges to create a traditional flooring appearance. Nowadays, it is made from engineered and solid wood. It looks fabulous in reception areas and hallways. Water and humidity can damage this flooring, and you should therefore install it in a relatively constant atmosphere.
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Each piece of hardwood flooring gets made from solid wood and is about 18-20 mm thick. We fit solid hardwood flooring using tongue-and-groove. The various types of wood feature a hardness score that determines how easily they can get dented, damaged, or worn with a specific duration. Install hardwood flooring at a place with a constant atmosphere, like hallways, to enhance its lifespan.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood flooring features several floorboards, each consisting of four layers of wood, put together by glue at right angles to formulate a plank with a thickness of around 14mm. It features a 4mm natural wood veneer on top. Install this floor where it can’t get exposed to humidity and water.
