For a timeless look, choose hardwood flooring
Hardwood flooring is available in sizes that range from wide planks to narrow boards. These planks and boards come in standard lengths and widths and in measurements that are contemporary in appearance. You have a choice between solid hardwood and engineered wood flooring, and you can find a large selection of both at Chuck Kraft Carpets, LLC. Our showroom in Manchester, Pennsylvania, has been a home improvement destination for folks from York, Lancaster, and Dauphin counties for over 25 years.
On-site solid wood installation
Unfinished solid hardwood flooring is sanded, stained, and sealed in your home. The process could take up to two weeks, including time for acclimation. However, this traditional installation method is still the best, especially if upgrading a kitchen floor. Boards are positioned close together and then well sealed. What's more, your home's flooring system is enhanced when the floor is installed on-site. Installers begin the upgrade by nailing boards to a wood subfloor. When they are finished, the floor has a flush look.

Factory-finished solid wood installation
Prefinished hardwood flooring is also nailed to a wood subfloor, but the floor has a beveled look. Finishes applied to the two different types of hardwood floor coverings also differ. Factories have access to more robust and, thus, more durable finishes. Therefore, prefinished hardwood is often backed by more extended finish warranties. Installation takes one day for an average size room, and the floor can be walked on immediately. Both unfinished and prefinished hardwood flooring and engineered wood can be refinished when it becomes worn.
Engineered wood installation
Like solid wood flooring, engineered wood is available in many domestic and exotic wood species. But this floor covering, which is made up of a plywood base and a layer of hardwood, can be installed in more areas of the home since it tolerates moisture. Also, floors usually float above the subfloor instead of being nailed to it. That's because planks and boards are designed to fit together at the edges. Because of its makeup, manufactured wood flooring can usually be installed over an existing hard surface floor.
