(Summary description)The solid wooden floor is actually the whole plank of wood. Its advantage is that it usually provides greater flexibility during installation; because installers can process wood profiles for joints, make stair treads, etc., and can still choose sealants after installation. It is also easier to repair solid wood floors, because there is usually more wood above the tongue, which should be longer. The solid wood when glued does not produce the noise produced by engineering or laminate flooring. Solid wood is not as stable as engineered flooring during installation, and installation requires more attention and expertise.

Engineering floor
Engineered hardwood flooring is a product composed of hardwood, plywood or HDF core and top hardwood veneer, glued to the top surface of the core, and can be used for almost any kind of hardwood. Therefore, in contrast to (laminate flooring), this product has the natural characteristics of the selected wood species. "Engineered" products are designed to provide greater stability, especially where moisture or heat causes problems for solid hardwood floors.
