    Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood — Which Should You Install?

    2026-05-10 Elevate Flooring LLC

    Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood — beautiful, timeless and refinishable many times over. Best for ground and upper floors over a wood subfloor.

    Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over a stable multi-ply core. It handles moisture and temperature swings better — ideal for basements, concrete slabs and radiant-heat homes.

    Both come in every species and stain you can imagine. The right choice depends on your subfloor, moisture level and long-term plans.
