Upgrade your space with premium hardwood flooring

When you’re upgrading your floors, nothing matches the elegance and durability of hardwood. At Floor Designs Unlimited, hardwood flooring isn’t just one of our many options; it’s one of our specialties. With over 30,000 square feet of flooring products in our showroom and decades of experience since 1988, we know a thing or two about helping people choose the right floor.

Hardwood floors bring warmth, character, and long-term value to any room. Whether you're creating a rustic feel in a country-style home or aiming for a sleek, modern interior, we have a hardwood style that fits. And with expert installers ready to handle everything from prep work to finishing touches, you get beautiful floors and peace of mind.

Let’s walk through the different types of hardwood we carry, the species you can choose from, and the real benefits of installing wood floors in your home or business.

Solid wood flooring: classic strength and style

Solid hardwood flooring is what most people picture when they think of traditional wood floors. Each plank is made from a single piece of hardwood, usually ¾-inch thick, and it can be sanded and refinished multiple times over the years.

We carry a wide selection of solid hardwoods in a range of finishes, widths, and surface textures. Want something smooth and glossy? We’ve got it. Do you prefer a distressed or hand-scraped look? That’s here, too. Solid wood floors are great for living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas where durability and beauty are both priorities.

Because solid hardwood is affected by changes in humidity, it’s best suited for spaces where the climate is controlled year-round. However, when it comes to lifespan and character, few flooring types can compete.

Engineered wood flooring: beauty meets practicality

Do you need the look of solid wood but with more flexibility? Engineered wood flooring might be your best bet. Unlike solid planks, engineered wood is made from multiple layers—real hardwood on top, with high-performance plywood or fiberboard underneath. This design makes it more stable, meaning it can handle temperature changes and moisture better than solid wood.

 

Engineered wood flooring is perfect for spaces like basements, kitchens, and even some commercial areas. It’s compatible with radiant heating systems and can often be installed over concrete slabs.

 

At Floor Designs Unlimited, we carry engineered hardwood flooring from trusted brands like Mannington, Shaw, and Impressions Hardwood Collection. Whether you're drawn to light, airy tones or rich, dark grains, our collection has something to match your space and style.

Hardwood species: discover your perfect match

Choosing the right hardwood species is just as important as picking between solid or engineered hardwood flooring. Each type of wood has its own grain pattern, hardness level, and color variation. Our staff knows them all and can help you find the one that fits your lifestyle.

 

Here are a few of the most popular species we carry:

 

  • Oak: Known for its strong grain and resistance to wear, oak is one of the most popular choices for both solid and engineered hardwood floors.
  • Maple: Lighter in tone with a more subtle grain, maple offers a clean, modern look and holds up well under foot traffic.
  • Hickory: Tough and full of natural character, hickory is a standout option if you want a rustic or farmhouse vibe.
  • Walnut: Rich, dark, and luxurious, walnut brings depth and elegance to formal spaces.
  • Birch: A budget-friendly choice with beautiful grain contrasts and a soft feel underfoot.

Explore the many benefits of hardwood floors

 

Hardwood flooring has stood the test of time for good reason. It’s not just about looks, though it delivers those in spades. It’s also about function, health, and home value.

 

Here’s what makes hardwood floors a smart investment:

 

  • Long-lasting performance: With proper care, wood floors can last for generations. Solid hardwood flooring can be refinished multiple times, extending its life even further.
  • Timeless beauty: Trends come and go, but wood never goes out of style. Whether you're going for cozy charm or high-end polish, hardwood delivers.
  • Easy to clean: Dust, pet hair, and allergens don’t stand a chance on smooth wood surfaces. Just a quick sweep or vacuum keeps things fresh.
  • Improves resale value: Buyers love hardwood floors. Homes with wood flooring often sell faster and for higher prices.
  • Eco-friendly options: Many of our hardwood flooring lines are sustainably harvested, and we’ll help you explore green-certified products if that’s a priority for your project.

 

Plus, when you work with Floor Designs Unlimited, you’re not just buying hardwood floors. You’re getting expert advice, honest recommendations, and professional installation backed by years of experience.
