There are two types of hardwood flooring:
Engineered flooring is manufactured in a manner similar to plywood, where three or five thin sheets (plies) of wood are laminated (glued) together in a crisscross formation for strength. A top layer (veneer) of hardwood is added as a finished top layer. Engineered flooring is available as strips or planks. Strips are 3" or less in width. Planks are over 3" wide. Engineered floors are very stable and can be installed on any grade level. Although engineered wood floors are manufactured through a laminating process, they are not the same as a laminate floor.
Longstrip flooring 
Parquet floorinSolid floors are cut from solid pieces of wood and milled to standard specifications. The flooring can be installed as planks or strips.
- A longstrip board is constructed of individual slats glued together end to end to form strips. The strips are then installed as tongue and groove.
- Parquet flooring is normally a 12"x 12" square consisting of narrow strips of wood. The parquet tiles, often of varying finishes, are arranged in geometric patterns.
Some wood flooring is pre-finished, others will require finishing and sealing. Many wood floors can also be refinished. A surfacePenetrating stains have in essence become part of the wood and are permanent. Check the manufacturer’s specifications about refinishing. stain can be removed and re-stained.
Whichever wood floor you choose, you install it using one of these methods:
- Nail down — attached to a wood subfloor with flooring nails.
- Staple down — attached to a wood subfloor with a pneumatic stapler.
- Glue down — engineered floors are applied to the subfloor with trowel and adhesive.
- Floating — tongue and groove floor planks are glued together. Rather than fastened to the subfloor, the floor rests on a pad between the floor and subfloor.
Installing a wood floor can be a larger investment than other flooring options. With proper care, a quality wood floor lasts the life of the house and adds to resale value.

Before After
This remodeling repair job required removing a deteriorating part of a hardwood floor surface and replacing it. The tougher part of this project required matching the new hardwood floor to the existing floor in color. Our expert craftsmen first sanded down and buffed the new surface and then used varnish and multiple coats of paint to complete the seamless transformation. By only having to paint the part of the wood floor that was replaced we saved the customer a lot of money and still ended up with a cosmetically appealing outcome.

123 Remodeling is dedicated to doing the best job available to you when it comes to tile installation. We want to remind you that it is important to keep in mind that poor installation can be horrible for a tile project in your bathroom. A bad tile job will cause water to run down into low spots and tiles to crack easily. Also, improperly mixed grout can seep residue and the whole tiled surface can actually look wavy if the base is not perfectly level. The processionals at 123 Remodeling want to remind you that choosing us for your bathroom renovation project will assure you that your project is completed by our trained professionals and that your tile is installed by one of our experienced and qualified tile installation contractors.
