Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Hardwood & Engineered Flooring Installation

Can engineered hardwood be installed in a condo over concrete?

Yes. Engineered hardwood is ideal for Toronto condos because its cross-ply core resists humidity changes. We install it with condo-approved acoustic soundproofing underlayment or specialized sound-reducing adhesive.

What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?

Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood from top to bottom, typically nailed to wood subfloors. Engineered hardwood has a real hardwood wear layer over multi-layered Baltic birch, making it much more dimensionally stable over concrete or radiant heat.
