Wood floors come in engineered tiles or planks, cork, bamboo, hardwood, and softwood. Solid wood floors are designed of timber that is cut into planks of different widths. Engineered wood is the only type of flooring which uses more than one layer and type of wood to offer a more stable and typically cheaper alternative to solid wood.

Softwood, as its name suggests, includes more pliable lumber like fir, cedar, and pine. Lumber taken from evergreen trees may easily be dented or scuffed by high-heel shoes or furniture and is too soft for flooring. But it’s frequently used beneath flooring as a material of support.

Hardwood flooring comes from trees that produce less pliable lumber and is perfect for the usual wear and tear that is inflicted on floors. Hardwood examples involve: birch, ash, maple, cherry, oak, as well as exotic woods from South America, Asia, and Africa. Such wood is also utilized to make cabinets, furniture, room trims, and doors, so during the renovation process, homeowners may opt to match their new floors with existing wood within their furniture.

Bamboo flooring has gained a lot of popularity in the past couple of years as an eco-friendly floor product because it rapidly grows. The majority of bamboo floors are exported from Asia where they grow especially well. The variety of bamboo materials available provides for an array of colors — from yellows to beiges to greens — in addition to various plank widths. Bamboo is categorized as “wood” flooring, so the plant is really a grass.

Cork floors that offer a soft underfoot surface, have been in use for years. It’s available in tiles instead of planks and blackish, blonde, and brown colors. Surfaces of cork are protected by varnish that makes them easier to clean and more durable.

Engineered floors aren’t to be confused with laminate flooring that uses an image of wood that is printed on the surface, or with veneer flooring that uses a base of high-density fiberboard that is covered by a thin layer of true wood.
