Hardwood flooring comes in three basic types. First there is solid wood flooring that is unfinished and installed permanently as interlocking planks, using nails. It is then sanded, stained and finished on site. This type of wood floor can be refinished as it wears over the years. It is used in new homes and major remodel projects. It is the thickest wood floor. The second type of wood flooring is engineered wood flooring. It has a veneer of real wood on a core of plywood or composite material and is designed to lock together. This floor comes pre stained and finished, and is good for use in existing homes. The third type of wood flooring is laminate wood flooring. This product is made to be a floating floor and uses no nails. It is a photographic wood layer protected by a durable finish layer and laminated to a wood composite layer. It is designed to lock together to form a floating floor that is long lasting, but can be removed if necessary.

Hardwood floors are beautiful in most rooms, but can be damaged by water. If a room has the possibility of water leaks of spills, another flooring may be better. Bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens may do better with water proof flooring, but many kitchens do have success with wood flooring.
