A hardwood floor adds warmth and value, and with care it lasts for decades. The catch here is the climate, which is why choosing the right construction matters as much as choosing the colour.
Visit the showroom at 10512 178 St NW to compare species and finishes side by side.
Room-by-room fit
Living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms
Ideal. These are the dry, lived-in parts of the house where wood shines.
Hallways
Good, especially with a harder species like oak or maple.
Kitchens
Possible with care, but many families prefer luxury vinyl plank for spill resistance.
Bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements
We don't recommend hardwood where water is a regular visitor. Tile or luxury vinyl is a better fit.
Solid vs engineered hardwood flooring Edmonton buyers compare
Solid hardwood
60–100 years with care
One piece of wood all the way through. It has a long lifespan and can be sanded and refinished many times.
Engineered hardwood
typically 30–40 years
A stable, layered core topped with a real hardwood veneer. Its layered construction gives it more dimensional stability when indoor humidity changes through the year, which makes it our usual recommendation for Edmonton homes. Some engineered floors can be refinished once or twice.
Species: oak, maple, walnut and cherry are the common choices, each with its own tone and grain. Oak and maple are the hardest-wearing.
Hardwood and the Edmonton climate
Seasonal temperature swings and dry winters affect natural wood more than any other floor. If you choose hardwood, keeping indoor humidity in a sensible range and letting the flooring acclimate inside your home before installation helps protect it over the long term. We plan acclimation into every hardwood schedule.

Hardwood FAQs
Is engineered hardwood better than solid for Edmonton homes?
Engineered hardwood's layered construction gives it more stability as indoor humidity changes through the year. Solid hardwood is still an excellent option in suitable areas and can be refinished multiple times.
How long does hardwood last?
Solid hardwood can last 60–100 years with care; engineered typically 30–40 years.
Is hardwood pet-friendly?
It can be. Species, finish and hardness matter if scratching is a concern, and area rugs help in high-traffic zones.
Is LVP cheaper than hardwood?
Usually, yes, comparing material and installation together. Hardwood costs more but gives you genuine wood and, depending on the product, can be refinished in the future. If your existing floor is worn but sound, see hardwood refinishing.
Can hardwood floors be refinished?
Solid hardwood can be refinished multiple times. Some engineered options can be refinished once or twice.
What’s the best hardwood for durability?
Oak and maple are popular choices due to their hardness and scratch resistance.
