Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood Flooring.
Solid hardwood flooring is milled from a single 3/4” thick piece of hardwood. Because of its thickness, a solid hardwood floor can be sanded and refinished over several generations of use. Traditional solid hardwood flooring is not well-suited for high-moisture areas, such as bathrooms or below-grade installations. Solid wood flooring may be used over plywood, wood, or OSB subfloors.
Engineered hardwood flooring is produced using three to five layers of hardwood. Each layer is stacked in a cross-grain configuration and bonded together under heat and pressure. As a result, engineered wood flooring is less likely to be affected by changes in humidity and can be installed at all levels of the home.
Hardwood floors represent the beauty and variety already found in nature using a wide range of hardwood species including maple, oak, hickory, walnut, pine, birch, and cherry.

Customer Testimonial
We want to say a big "thank you!!' for all of your work in getting our living room floor put in. It is absolutely beautiful!!
From the very beginning of the process, we really respected and appreciated your meticulous care in measuring the area, finding the wood, and determining the quote. We were very grateful that you then set us up with Dave Williams and his son, because they were awesome!! They are real artists, and real professionals.
The floor is gorgeous, and we love it!! We waited a long time to have this done, and we are so thrilled that we chose Lake Murray Flooring to do the job!! Everything was perfect.
We highly recommend you, and your shop. Thanks again.
