Choosing Your Perfect Hardwood Floor

Ark offers two different hardwood flooring constructions, SOLID and ENGINEERED. Both are equally beautiful, and in most situations, equally long-lasting. We offer a 25-year residential warranty on both constructi0ns...


ENGINEERED CONSTRUCTION: durable surface is created using five layers of natural hardwood and “cross-grained" to each other then topped with a premium 2MM top layer of your chosen hardwood species and nine coats of our long-wearing, eco-friendly finish. Engineered floors are generally thinner than solid and can be sanded and refinished 1-2 times. Approximate length 1' - 4’ with an average length of 2.5’. This construction provides more placement options than solid flooring as it can be used on, above or below grade and on concrete slab. All of our engineered flooring products are Phase 2 CARB compliant.


SOLID CONSTRUCTION: This is just what it sounds like. Each plank is a single 3/4" thick, solid piece of your chosen species of wood, topped with multiple layers of our long-wearing, eco-friendly finish. Solid construction can be sanded and reiinished multiple times if necessary and for this reason is often the preferred choice of homeowners particularly worried about long—term damage to their flooring. Approximate length 1' to 6' with an average length of 2.5'. This construction can be used on or above grade.
