Why Wood Flooring Is a Gandy Favorite

Hardwood floors are a premium option for discerning homeowners. Known for its natural ambiance, no flooring material offers quite the same combination of versatility as hardwood. It’s available in a wide range of colors, finishes, and stains, and it can be the center of attention or a supporting design choice.

There are many reasons Gandy loves wood flooring, including:

• Instant value: Hardwood flooring is highly coveted among prospective homebuyers, which means your new wood floors will instantly increase your property values.
• Durability: Hardwood floors will last for many years with regular cleaning and maintenance. 
• Endless design options: There are dozens, if not hundreds, of species, stains, and installation patterns to choose from, which means your wood floors can be as unique as you are!

We make choosing the right solid wood and engineered wood flooring products easy. Our Mobile Flooring Showroom® delivers hundreds of wood floor samples to your doorstep so that you can see, touch, and select the perfect products for your space, taste, and budget. Trust your dedicated Design Associate to provide friendly, honest recommendations so you can decide with confidence.

Hardwood vs. Engineered Wood Floors: What’s the Difference?

Not all wood flooring is the same. At Floor Coverings International® of Gandy-Bayshore, we begin by discussing the benefits of both hardwood and engineered wood flooring.

• Hardwood flooring, also known as solid wood or real wood, is made of a single piece of lumber. The most common wood floor species are maple, oak, and hickory, though you’ll find dozens of other options in our catalog. Real wood floors offer warmth and a timeless style, and can be refinished later, making it a long-lasting choice. 
• Engineered wood flooring is made of several layers of wood fiber or plywood bonded and pressed together. This bonding process makes it more moisture-resistant, giving it a leg up on solid wood in some applications, especially in humid Florida weather. The plank is then topped with a real wood veneer, making it look almost exactly like hardwood flooring to the untrained eye. Because the veneer is only a few mils thick, engineered wood floors can be refinished only once or twice, if at all.

One important note: Engineered wood floors are real wood; they’re just primarily made with plywood and topped with a solid wood veneer. They’re different from wood-look vinyl and laminate flooring products, which are composite.
