dellafloors hardwood

Hardwood is the most attractive flooring in the house. Because of its natural and visual beauty, it's usually the first to be noticed in a home. Since hardwood is a permanent floor, you should invest the most amount of money in this type of floor. Hardwood floors typically add 10% to the home value. All hardwoods sold at Della Floors are First Quality and carry a life-time structural and moisture warranty. The finish (or wear) warranty ranges from 10 to 25 years.

Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwoods are glued down directly to the sub-floor. They provide the best sound quality and dimensional stability. Engineered hardwoods are made of several plys. First quality hardwoods have a life-time moisture and structural warranty. They are extremely strong and very resistant to warping or movement.

Solid Hardwood

Solid hardwoods are nailed down. First, plywood is nailed down to the sub-floor or concrete, then hardwood is nailed down to plywood. Typically the floor will be raised about 1.5 inches. This could cause problems with door openings, baseboards or other objects. The popularity of solid hardwoods has faded for good reasons. They are susceptible to moisture, humidity and warping. Most people think that it can be sanded and refinished over and over, but that's not true. Solid hardwood can be sanded down as far as the nail, which could be only a few millimeters. Most companies don't make solid hardwoods any longer.

Moldings:

Moldings (T-Mold, Stair Nose, 1/4 Rounds) are matching parts that come with the hardwood you choose. They are solid pieces of wood as opposed to engineered hardwood. These moldings would have different shades than the hardwood.

Care & Maintenance

Just dust as needed, that's all. You should not use any chemicals or wet mopping. For occasional cleaning of spills or spots, use PH balanced cleaning products available at our showroom or other stores.
