Hardwood Flooring

Overview -Solid Hardwood

Solid wood flooring is milled from a single piece of timber that is kiln or air dried before sawing.

Organic, genuine, attractive –solid hardwood is the highly desired choice in flooring.

A timeless option that combines with many styles, solid hardwood floors provide performance and durability that lasts a lifetime,with the flexibility to always remain in fashion and on trend.

Aayers Flooring solid hardwood floors are proudly made with a naturally sustainable resource.

Overview -Engineered Hardwood

Made of genuine wood, engineered hardwood flooring is made of a core of multiple plies of hardwood with a layer of hardwood veneer affixed to the top surface.

This multi-ply structure gives engineered hardwood floors the flexibility to be installed in geographical areas that have excessive moisture, or in building spaces otherwise unsuited for solid hardwood.

Also, many engineered floors offer a floating floor option, allowing installation on a concrete subfloor, as long as the subfloor is clean, dry, and level.

Overview -Prefinished vs. Site-Finished Hardwood floors

Prefinished wood floors come with finishes that are applied at the factory, under controlled environmental conditions. 
This closely monitored process ensures that the product is properly dried and cured. 
All Aayers hardwood flooring comes pre-finished, the advantages are: the floor is finished when the installation is finished, the mess is lessened and the odors of the stains and finishes are eliminated.

Lifestyle -Installation Area

With the exception of bathrooms and laundry rooms, solid hardwood flooring is great in any room on the ground floor or above.

Below ground, in basements where air and moisture issues can be factors, only engineered hardwood floors are recommended.

Lifestyle -Pets, Shoes and Durability

Prefinished Hardwood flooring can be durable and hard as nails, but sports shoes with cleats, a stone in a sneaker tread or pet claws are examples of things that can leave significant scratches.
For areas with high traffic, a please-remove-shoes-at-the-door policy is a helpful rule to institute.

Lifestyle -Warranty

Due to the toughness of Aayers finishs, Aayers prefinished hardwood floors carry 30 year limited residential warranty and lifetime structural integrity, versus just 3 to 5 years warranty for site-finished floors.

Part of the beauty of hardwood floors is just how easy they are to maintain.
Simple care and maintenance procedures keep the floor looking its best.

Budget -Thickness of Engineered Flooring

With engineered hardwood, the number of layers in the core and the thickness of the face are the two primary performance and cost drivers.
At the lower cost range, expect to see three layers, at the mid-price range, five layers, and at the high end, look for seven layers or more.
As the thickness of the top layer or face of the product increases, cost will typically increase as well, providing you the ability to sand and refinish if you ever need to, just like solid hardwood.
