Wood Flooring Refinishing in Oklahoma City, OK

Solid Hardwood Flooring

Solid Hardwood is 100% hardwood milled from lumber. As a natural material, hardwood reacts to changes in its setting, like moisture and extreme temperatures, which cause solid wood to shrink or expand. All solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished if needed over the years. Solid hardwood is not recommended for installation below ground level or in bathrooms.

As the name implies, this type of wood flooring is solid wood all the way through, from top to bottom. Solid hardwood floors require a wood subfloor. It's similar to any other stick of lumber that sawn straight off of the log with no additional materials added. It's usually just called "hardwood floor."
Hardwood does require sanding, staining (optional), and sealing after installation. You need to limit usage until it has been sealed. After sealing, you will need to wait at least 48 hours for the sealant to dry. Even then, additional coats may be required. The advantage is you can stain it and seal it to your exact specification.

Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Engineered hardwood flooring is real wood flooring, but is more stable than solid wood. It is less susceptible to shrinking and expanding with changes in temperatures and humidity while the multiple wood layers in engineered hardwood make it very durable. Engineered Hardwood is built up of layers of wood. It consists of three to ten layers, called plies, which are glued together. This multi-ply structure gives engineered wood superior stability, greater than solid wood, which reduces concerns associated with shrinking and expanding when temperature and humidity change. Engineered wood can be installed below ground level making it a great choice for finished basements. Engineered wood flooring comes prefinished and unfinished with a variety of widths and different species of wood to choose from.
Prefinished engineered floors are flooring with a factory-applied stain and finish. The advantage is the quick installation turnaround time. With prefinished, you can walk on it 24 hours after installation. The drawback to prefinished flooring is being able to find the exact floor that will reflect your own unique style, choice of color and finish.
Unfinished engineered floors are left in their raw state to be sanded for a perfectly flat, smooth surface that allows stain and coating techniques to create beautiful custom floors. An even surface also ensures a more aesthetically pleasing look while producing an easy to clean floor.

Parquet Hardwood Flooring

Parquet refers to a type of hardwood flooring that is created by taking very small slats of wood and arranging them in distinct, repeating patterns. The wooden pieces are generally formed into tiles of varying shapes and then installed in such a way that the individual pieces all contribute to a greater, concerted pattern that stretches across the entire floor.
Parquet tiles are generally bonded to a mesh backing of paper, cloth, or plastic, and stitched with a thin metal or plastic skeleton. The material is most often Oak, but you will sometimes find it available in Walnut. More exotic wood parquet floor tiles are also available but will be quite expensive.
Unfinished Parquet: It is in its natural state when installed. With unfinished parquet tiles, you get to choose the color of any stains or finishing treatments that will be applied, giving you a wealth of decorative options.
Finished Parquet: These tiles are stained and are finished with an aluminum oxide polyurethane at the factory. Because this is done industrially, the finish used can be significantly more durable. It also cuts down on the hassle and mess of applying a finish on site.
