Description of Solid Wood Floor
 Solid wood
floors, as the term suggest, is simply a single piece
of wood from a particular specie, after being
processed, can be installed to become a floor. A solid
Maple floor will practically mean that the whole wood
floor is 100% Maple. Solid Wood flooring comes in two
basic types:
- STRIP flooring accounts for the majority of
installations. Strips come in widths ranging from
76mm to 189mm. They are installed by nailing to the
subfloor.
- PARQUET flooring comes in standard patterns of 6"
x 6" blocks. Specialty patterns may range up to 36"
square units. Parquet often achieves dramatic
geometric effects of special design patterns.
A solid hardwood floor can be installed on a
concrete slab as long as the floor is on or above
ground level. They can be sanded and refinished over
several generations of use.
Solid wood flooring expands and contracts with changes
in your home's relative humidity. Normally, installers
compensate for this movement by leaving an expansion
gap between the floor and the wall. Base moulding is
the traditional "cover-up" for this gap.
