New Hardwood Flooring Options - Bamboo & More
Searching for the perfect hardwood flooring in Los Angeles? It can be a very complicated process, especially if you are not informed about the many types of products that are available. Perhaps you know that you like the look of bamboo flooring or would like to choose a reliable brand like Bruce Hardwood Flooring, but the TYPE of flooring is actually the most important decision that you have to make. Whether you are replacing an old, damaged hardwood floor, laying a new floor over plywood or concrete, refinishing wood, or looking for a more economical "floating floor", this is the page to start your journey.
Where to start?
SOLID v. ENGINEERED. First, perhaps the most important decision is WHERE in your house do you plan on installing the hardwood floor? Solid Hardwood floor installations on a plywood subfloor at or above ground level. If you are looking to install a hardwood floor directly to a cement slab, below ground level, or in a humid location, you should consider an Engineered wood floor. An important note is that engineered floors can also be installed on plywood, or above ground, however we recommend installing a solid hardwood floor whenever possible.

 Traditional Solid Unfinished Hardwood - Click here to view species of wood. 
Solid Hardwood, as you may already understand, must be nailed directly into a wood subfloor, such as plywood or 2"x6" lumber over joists. Nowadays, many homes lie over a cement slab. In order to install a solid hardwood floor on a cement slab, it is necessary to seal the slab and install a plywood subfloor onto the slab (by hammering nails through the wood into the cement)._ Not only is this expensive and time consuming, but also adds
to the thickness of the floor, raising it 1/2" or 3/4" higher than the rest of the house, not even counting the thickness of the hardwood which will be installed shortly
thereafter.

Worthwood is a natural material with a warm texture that offers comfort, permanence and low
maintenance. Worthwood’s end grain construction creates a floor which will not
wear out. It makes great art museum flooring, and can also be found in armories, residences,
libraries, schools, retail stores, restaurants and other commercial buildings.

We offer high-end, quality Laminate Flooring - Click here to view species of wood.
Wood Manufactuerers have created a product which eliminates the need to lay a plywood subfloor. Called Engineered Flooring, the product is made of multiple layers of a plywood base, with a hardwood veneer top layer. The wood veneer and all the layers of plywood base are glued and dried under extreme pressure to ensure a strong bond. This product, a hybrid of plywood and hardwood, can now be glued directly to the cement slab. There is no need to install a plywood subfloor, saving time and money!
