In short, solid wood flooring is a plank of wood that has been milled from one single part of the tree. This can be referred to as solid hardwood flooring or simply solid wood.

Material:

Solid wood floors are made from real wood throughout the entire thickness of each plank, as opposed to engineered wood floors, which have a top layer of real wood veneer over a plywood or composite base.

Durability:

Oak is a hardwood, which generally makes it more durable than softwoods. It can withstand heavy foot traffic and is less susceptible to wear and damage compared to softer wood species.

Appearance:

Oak is known for its beautiful and distinctive grain patterns. It can be left in its natural state for a classic look, or it can be stained to achieve a specific color that complements the overall design of a space.
