Frequently Asked Questions

What types of wood flooring are available?
Wood flooring comes in several forms: solid hardwood, which is milled from a single piece of wood and can be sanded and refinished many times over its lifetime; engineered hardwood, which has a real wood veneer bonded to a layered plywood core for greater dimensional stability; waterproof engineered hardwood, which adds a moisture-resistant core for use in kitchens and basements; unfinished hardwood, which is sanded and stained on-site for a fully custom result; and bamboo, which is technically a grass but performs similarly to hardwood and is one of the most renewable flooring options available.
What is the most durable type of wood flooring?
Durability in wood flooring depends on species hardness and finish quality more than format. Hickory, white oak, and hard maple rank among the hardest domestic species on the Janka scale and hold up well in high-traffic areas. Engineered hardwood in a thick veneer with a quality aluminum oxide finish is also highly durable and more stable than solid hardwood in environments with humidity swings. For areas with moisture exposure, waterproof engineered hardwood is the most durable wood-look option available.
Is wood flooring suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
Solid hardwood is not recommended for bathrooms or high-moisture kitchens -- it expands and contracts with humidity and can warp or cup over time. Engineered hardwood handles moisture better due to its layered construction, but it is still not fully waterproof. For kitchens and bathrooms, waterproof engineered hardwood is the best wood flooring choice, as its core is designed to resist moisture without sacrificing the look and feel of real wood.
How do I choose between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is the better choice when longevity and long-term refinishing are priorities -- a solid plank can be sanded and refinished many times over decades. Engineered hardwood is the better choice for spaces with humidity variation, radiant heat floors, or below-grade installations where solid hardwood would be at risk. If you are installing over concrete or in a region with significant seasonal humidity swings, engineered hardwood is typically the more practical and stable option.
What species of wood flooring is best for homes with pets and kids?
Harder species resist scratching better than soft ones. On the Janka hardness scale, hickory, white oak, ash, and hard maple are strong performers for busy households. Avoid softer species like pine or cherry in high-traffic areas. Finish matters too -- a matte or satin finish hides scratches better than a high-gloss finish. For households with very active pets or kids, engineered hardwood with a thick aluminum oxide finish offers good real-wood character with more surface resistance than many solid options.
How much does wood flooring cost?
Wood flooring prices vary widely depending on species, format, and grade. Engineered hardwood typically ranges from affordable entry-level options to premium wide-plank styles. Solid hardwood in exotic or wide-plank formats commands a higher price. Unfinished hardwood is often less expensive per square foot upfront but adds finishing labor costs. Bamboo tends to be competitively priced compared to hardwood. BuildDirect's direct-from-manufacturer model removes traditional retail markups, which means you get more floor for your budget regardless of which type you choose.
Can I try wood flooring samples before I buy?
Yes. BuildDirect offers free samples so you can see how a wood floor looks in your actual space before placing a full order. Wood flooring color and grain vary significantly between screen and real life, and the way natural light hits a floor changes its appearance throughout the day. Order a few samples, place them in your room, and live with them before committing.
