When choosing hardwood flooring, it’s important to understand the two main types—solid hardwood and engineered hardwood—each with its own benefits and ideal applications.
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Solid hardwood planks are crafted from a single piece of natural wood, offering unmatched authenticity and longevity. This type of flooring can be sanded and refinished multiple times, allowing it to last for decades. It’s perfect for main living areas, bedrooms, and dining rooms where you want to highlight the beauty of real wood grain.
Popular species available at Ideal Carpets & Interiors include oak, maple, hickory, and birch—all sourced for their quality and resilience in Alberta’s climate.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood consists of a top layer of genuine wood bonded to multiple layers of plywood or high-density fibreboard (HDF). This construction enhances stability, making engineered hardwood more resistant to humidity and temperature fluctuations.
It’s an excellent choice for basements, condos, or areas with radiant heating, where solid wood might not perform as well. Engineered hardwood delivers the same elegant appearance as solid planks while offering superior versatility.

Q: How long do hardwood floors last?
A: With proper care, solid hardwood can last over 50 years, and engineered hardwood often lasts 25–30 years.
