Types of Hardwood Flooring
Selecting the perfect hardwood flooring for your home involves more than just picking a wood type that catches your eye. Luckily, considering all the different types of wood flooring, you’ll find something that you’ll love and that will seamlessly blend into your home.
Solid Hardwood vs. Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Solid hardwood flooring is the traditional wood option found in most homes. It consists of a single, solid plank of wood cut to the desired thickness. This type of hardwood is known for its durability and can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime.
On the other hand, engineered wood is a newer option that consists of multiple layers of wood glued together. The top layer is real hardwood, while the underlying layers are plywood or high-density fiberboard.
Unfinished vs. Prefinished Hardwood Flooring
Finished hardwood flooring is pre-sanded and stained at the manufacturing facility. This option reduces the amount of work required during installation, as the floors are ready to use immediately after installation.
However, unfinished hardwood is raw wood that requires sanding and staining on-site after installation. This option allows for customization, making it ideal if you need a specific stain colour or want to match existing floors.

Best Hardwood Options for the Okanagan Climate
The South Okanagan's hot, dry summers and cold winters cause more seasonal wood movement than a coastal climate. Engineered hardwood is often the more stable choice for Oliver, BC homes, since its layered construction resists the expansion and contraction that solid hardwood can experience with seasonal humidity swings — particularly over basement or in-floor heating subfloors. Solid hardwood still performs well in climate-controlled living spaces and offers more refinishing life over the long run. Our team can walk you through which option suits your specific home; for more on choosing flooring for our climate, see our guide to flooring for Canadian winters.
