wood floor for beach house-engineered or solid?
Comments (4)Definitely engineered for your case. We found that engineered floor works the best with higher humidity region. If you have any quality concern, you may find some engineered floorings with full 3/4' total thick and 3/8" wear layer for future refinish with 2 other layers with same thickness. It could go as wide as 12" with no warp. Even better you can float, nail or glue down the boards as you're pleased....See MoreSolid wood floors OR better grade engineered wood floors
Comments (14)A high quality engineered floor will have the same or longer wear life as a solid wood floor. This isn't usually a big deal in residential as you are talking at least 45 years of life... Engineered wood flooring can cope with changes in moisture better than a solid wood floor, but if you have a good HVAC system and monitor the humidity in your home, both will be fine. Solid wood floors are not recommended below grade, for example in the basement. Our standard 5/8" thick engineered floor will give you 3-4 sand and refinishes. This floor can be glued to the slab and will line up with carpet and most tiles. This means you don't have to drop the slab (money saver!) or use transition pieces. Some areas where it is very dry have had issues with the thicker engineered floors (3/4" with 6mm wear layer) as the plywood base dries out at a different rate to the wear layer. One of our clients (Flooring installer) in Arizona is replacing engineered with solid as it handles that climate better. Since it sounds like you are doing a remodel, you are probably best to go with an engineered floor. A 5/8" thick engineered wood floor from our company has a 4mm wear layer and will give you 3-4 sand and refinishes. This you can glue to the slab and will take up around the same amount of thickness as the travertine did. This means you will not have to replace the trim, cut off the bottoms of doors etc. Typically a solid wood floor is installed on a plywood sub-floor. On a new build the slab would be dropped on those areas to allow for the extra thickness. A quality engineered wood floor is not inferior to a solid wood floor in anyway. Once it is installed you will not be able to tell the difference. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out!

Comments (5)I couldn't find much info on this company when researching, so thought I'd chime in. We just used Paramount Rigidcore Northern Hickory in the Cornerstone line--I wanted a busier pattern to hide any future issues in this workspace. We're still moving in and I have gently slid many, many heavy boxes and bookshelves across the floor and am impressed with how it's wearing. The Cornerstone line is only 12mil, not the 20 mil your color is, so I was concerned with scratching and denting, but it is working great. One note is that there are no extra bullnoses, etc for stairs--we used a metal strip at the room edge. I definitely recommend getting a sample and trying it in your room with your lighting. The pic on the website of my color is quite different from what it looks like in my space (I found the same with Coretec.) I've attached pics but they're not great. I went through Prosource and they had large samples they could lend which helped a lot. Good luck!...See MoreParamount Heartland Montgomery Flooring
