Residential - Solid Flooring
Solid
flooring is when each board consists of one solid piece of hardwood.
The most common thickness is ¾” and widths vary from
two to five inches. These floors experience the normal expansion
and contraction with changes in relative humidity. They are designed
to be installed on or above grade (where humidity levels are more
controllable). Therefore, solid flooring is not recommended in basement
applications in order to avoid unnecessary problems due to excessive
moisture.
These
floors also require a solid plank or plywood sub-floor to enable
the planks to be nailed down using a two inch cleat. A concrete
sub-floor, such as in a condominium, would require that a ¾”
plywood sub-floor be installed prior to solid wood installation.
There
are many wood species available such as Red or White Oak, Maple,
Birch, Ash, Cherry, Walnut, Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry), Cabreuva
(Santos Mahogany), Hickory, Beech, and other exotic species. Combine
all these woods with the various manufacturers, grades and the many
colors and widths available, and you are provided with hundreds
of flooring options. Solid ¾ inch floors have the possibility
of being re-sanded three to five times for a real lifetime investment.
