A LOOK AT THE CHOICES:
Solid and engineered hardwood
Offers natural beauty and enduring appeal and can increase the resale value of a home. It’s available in any species.
Although solid hardwood provides a classic look, it reacts to humidity and temperature changes with expansion and contraction, causing cupping and gapping.
Unlike solid hardwood, engineered hardwood can tolerate changes in temperature and humidity and can be installed on any level, including below grade and over in-floor heating.
Pricing starts at around $10 per square foot, without installation.
Engineered hardwood with an HDF core
Divine Flooring offering a signature design known as Coastline. Available in clickable five-inch planks fashioned from rift oak, oak or ash on a high-density fibre board core with a polymer underlay.
Price starts at about $5 per square foot, without installation.
Luxury vinyl plank
Ideal for active families, luxury vinyl plank realistically captures the essence of wood, while offering high-end style. It’s floatable and clickable; resistant to scratches and scuffs and is waterproof.
Pricing starts at about $4.70 per square foot, without installation.
Laminate flooring
Offering high performance and versatility at an affordable price, laminate is pressed and coated wood that is applied to a MDF or HDF core. It can emulate several looks, but it is not waterproof.
Pricing starts at about $2.50 per square foot, without installation.
