SOMERSET HARDWOOD FLOORING Raleigh & Cary, NC

Floor Coverings International in Cary, NC offers two types of Somerset hardwood flooring: solid and engineered hardwood floors.

Somerset solid hardwood flooring is a single piece of solid wood that is crafted into a strip or plank
flooring through an advanced milling and finishing process.

Engineered hardwood flooring from Somerset has a solid top layer and six additional cross-grained layers to form a floor plank flooring 1/2" thick. The cross-graining provides greater dimensional stability, minimizing the expansion and contraction that natural wood floor exhibits when exposed to varying moisture levels and temperatures.

Both are excellent choices to install on or above grade (ground level), depending on the type of sub-floor you have. If you choose to put hardwood flooring below grade, in a basement, for example, you will need to install engineered flooring.

The main considerations for choosing solid or engineered flooring have to do with where and how the flooring will be installed.
