SPI Floors

These floors will be one solid piece of hardwood. They can be refinished many times and will probably be there as long as the house is standing. Some solid hardwood floors can be nailed or stapled. Be careful with wide plank solid floors. In the winter you may see gaps; in the summer you may see buckling.

This is normal with solid floors and is not a defect. If that might bother you, take a look at Engineered Wood. These floors will be more stable. Engineered Hardwood has multiple layers of different type of wood sandwiched together to make a super stable floor. Installation methods differ with product.Some can be glued down, glued together or locking. Once installed, most people cannot tell the difference between an engineered and a solid floor.
