Solid Hardwood for Tampa, Safety Harbor, Town ‘n’ Country, Carrollwood, Lutz, & the Greater Tampa Bay area

Solid hardwood has been a popular building material for centuries because of its unmatched longevity and its ability to infuse any room with a rich, refined style. It’s no wonder that homeowners and business owners turn to solid hardwood time and time again to meet their design standards, and Trico Flooring is here to assist with any renovation or building project.

As people consider their options for hardwood flooring, many wonder what the differences are between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood. Let’s look at a few of their distinguishing characteristics:

• Engineered Hardwood: made of various layers of hardwood that are fused together. There is an inner core made of a less expensive material, such as plywood or High Density Fiber (HDF), and topped with a hardwood veneer. Generally, the more layers in a plank of engineered hardwood, the more stable the floor will be.

• Solid Hardwood:  milled from one solid piece of wood. This type of flooring can withstand repeated sandings and refinishings, whereas engineered hardwood can generally withstand about three refinishings in its life. It’s better not to install solid wood floors over concrete slabs.

Regardless of whether they’re oak hardwood or any other species, solid hardwood floors also provide other benefits, such as ease of maintenance and increased home value. Oak is also a recyclable product, so it is an eco-friendly flooring option. It comes in a variety of finishes, such as matte, glossy, or distressed antique, and, as with any quality Trico product, our hardwood floors come with a lifetime installation warranty and a manufacturer’s warranty.

At Trico Flooring, we pride ourselves on being able to offer quality products for any budget, which is why we created our “good, better, best” pricing options that allow customers to express their individuality according to their resources, regardless of whether you’re interested in solid hardwood, carpet, tile, laminate, or engineered hardwood.
