Hardwood Flooring FAQ's
Answers at your fingertips
Your questions answered. Navigate through our FAQs for insights on selection, care, and more.
What are the differences between solid and engineered hardwood flooring?
Solid hardwood flooring is crafted from a single piece of wood and offers unmatched durability, ideal for long-term use in Ottawa homes. Engineered hardwood flooring, on the other hand, features a top hardwood veneer over layers of plywood, making it more resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations—especially important in Ottawa’s seasonal climate. Both options are elegant, but engineered hardwood is often preferred for basements and areas with in-floor heating.
Can hardwood flooring be installed in kitchens or bathrooms?
While traditional hardwood floorboards add timeless beauty to any space, they aren’t ideal for full bathrooms due to moisture concerns. However, engineered hardwood flooring can be safely used in kitchens with proper sealing and maintenance. For Ottawa homeowners seeking warmth and elegance in moisture-prone areas, hardwood flooring is still a viable option when cared for properly.
How do I maintain and clean my hardwood floors?
To keep your hardwood floors in excellent condition, sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit and debris. Use a hardwood floor cleaner and a damp (not wet) mop—avoid steam cleaning or excessive water. In Ottawa’s winter months, using entryway mats can prevent salt and snow from damaging your hardwood flooring finish.
How long does hardwood flooring typically last?
Solid hardwood flooring can last over 50 years with proper care, while engineered hardwood flooring typically lasts 20–30 years depending on the veneer thickness. In Ottawa, hardwood’s longevity makes it a great long-term investment, especially when professionally installed and maintained.
Can hardwood floors be refinished?
One of the biggest advantages of solid hardwood flooring is the ability to sand and refinish it multiple times. Engineered hardwood flooring can also be refinished, though only once or twice depending on the thickness of the top layer. Refinishing restores the look of your Ottawa hardwood floors and increases their lifespan dramatically.
