Wood Flooring Types
Solid hardwood flooring
Solid hardwood floors tell a story that deepens over time. Made from single timber pieces, these floors can be refinished multiple times across generations. They work best in climate-controlled spaces, where they develop character while maintaining their structure.
Engineered Hardwood
The layered construction of engineered hardwood makes it particularly suitable for Santa Fe’s weather patterns. Its stability suits:
- Rooms with changing humidity
- Various subfloor conditions
- Different installation heights
- Areas needing extra stability
Bamboo
Bamboo offers strength and sustainability in one package. This fast-growing material provides:
- Hardness that exceeds many traditional woods
- Strength in busy areas
- 3-5 year growth cycle
- Multiple style choices
- Environmental benefits
Laminate Wood Flooring
Laminate flooring is made up of a printed image of wood grain that is glued to a composite base. It is more affordable than solid and engineered hardwood, but it can be less durable and not have the same look and feel.
Cork
Cork flooring brings unique advantages to Santa Fe homes:
- Quieter rooms
- Natural cushioning
- Better temperature control
- Sustainable harvesting
- Allergy-friendly properties
