Solid wood flooring is a single piece of wood that has been profiled to certain widths (3¼” and 4 7/8″) and in general is roughly ¾” thick. The lengths are random. Solid wood flooring is almost always installed via a “nail-down” installation. This normally means that you must have a wood subfloor. Lamett Engineered wood floors are a cross-directional multi-ply construction that may be installed either floating, glued down, or stapled down. This allows for more options in installation in all levels of your home.
