With a little basic understanding about the different types of wood floors you can be better prepared and more confident in your selection. Wood flooring is produced in both solid and engineered planks and strips and come in a wide variety of wood species.
To help determine which type of floor will work best for your situation depends upon the location within your and the type of subfloor.
Solid Wood Floors: Solid wood floors are crafted from a single piece of wood, typically 3/4″ thick, and are available in various widths and species, including domestic options like red and white oak, as well as exotic woods like Brazilian cherry. Due to their susceptibility to humidity and temperature changes, these floors should be installed above grade on approved wooden subfloors and secured with nails or staples. They can be recoated and refinished multiple times.
Engineered Wood Floors: Engineered wood floors consist of multiple hardwood layers laminated together, offering stability and versatility. They can be glued, stapled, or floated over various subfloors, including wood, concrete slabs, and existing flooring. With cross-ply construction, these floors resist expansion and contraction due to humidity changes and can be installed at any level in the home. Mohawk offers a wide range of engineered hardwoods in different widths, thicknesses, and colors.
Exotic Wood Species
Today wood flooring is also offered in a variety of hardwood species that are not found in North America. Mohawk Hardwood Flooring Collections include some of the finest exotic hardwoods from all over the world. These floors offer many unique and visually striking appearances that are distinctly different from the North American hardwoods. Many of these exotic species are photosensitive and may change color over time. Please refer to sample panels for the level of photosensitivity of each product.
Prefinished Versus Unfinished
Unfinished floors require several days to install, stain and finish the flooring. Prefinished floors are less messy and can be installed and completed the same day. A factory-applied finish like Mohawk’s exclusive Scotchgard™ or CrystalShield™ finish with aluminum oxide is extremely durable and could not be duplicated with a job-site finish.

Exotic hardwood species are sourced from regions outside North America and offer unique and visually striking appearances that differ significantly from traditional North American hardwoods. These species can vary widely in color, texture, and grain patterns. Note that many exotic woods are photosensitive and may change color over time, so it's important to review sample panels to understand the level of photosensitivity.
Prefinished hardwood floors are coated with a durable factory-applied finish, such as Mohawk’s Scotchgard™ or CrystalShield™ with aluminum oxide. This finish is highly resistant to wear and cannot be replicated with job-site finishes. Prefinished floors are less messy and can be installed and ready to use the same day, whereas unfinished floors require additional time for staining and finishing on-site.
Yes, exotic hardwood floors can be installed in various rooms, but it is essential to consider the specific needs of each room. For example, ensure proper acclimation and installation conditions to maintain the wood’s appearance and longevity, particularly in areas with high humidity or temperature fluctuations.
