Solid Hardwood: Absorbs and distributes sound more evenly. Harder underfoot than engineered hardwood. Nailed or glued down.

Solid Hardwood: Not recommended for humid environments as they easily absorb moisture and warp. Limited heat resistance.
Engineered Hardwood: Better in humid environments as plywood is more resistant to warping. Same heat resistance as solid wood.

Engineered Hardwood: Installed through a nailed-down or glue-down process.
Solid Hardwood: Usually 3/8” to 1” thick and 2¼” wide, with most boards 12-84 inches long. Rarely wider than 4 inches.
