What is SOLID WOOD FLOORS

There are many types of solid wood flooring, but solid wood floors, also known as hardwood, are, of course, the original wood floor.

A solid wood floor is, as the name implies, a piece of solid wood from top to bottom. Its finished with oil or lacquer and with tongue and groove edges. The manufacturing process is simple. The logs and logs of raw material of the chosen wood are cut at sawmills around the world in various lengths, widths and thicknesses.

These raw woods are then transferred to floor factories where they are classified and further refined by cutting to specific sizes. They are then sanded and often machined with grooved tabs and ends or chamfered edges. The cut woods are dried in an oven to bring them to a specific humidity level suitable for the country of destination.

This creates an very good solid wood floor suitable for the consumer. Often the floor is pre-finished with a lacquer or oil before packing it in boxes. At Wood Floor Warehouse, all of our solid wood floors come prefinished.

They went back to solid wood like oak and were used only as structural materials, which were then covered with decorative surfaces such as carpets or stone. Once you realized the beauty of the finished woods, it was common to remove the floor covering to reveal the beautiful woods underneath. Then, they were often sanded and finished in oils or lacquers. Of course, today the subfloors are constructed from floor boards with a decorative wooden floor installed on the top.

Nowadays, solid wood floors have never been so popular, not only because they are so practical and timeless, but a real hardwood floor can be a hallmark.
