Hardwood Flooring for Timeless Style and Lasting Beauty
Hardwood flooring brings the natural character of real wood into your home while offering a versatile foundation for many design styles. With choices in wood species, stain colors, finishes, and construction, hardwood can be personalized to suit both your space and lifestyle.
Stonewood Flooring offers hardwood flooring from its Albuquerque and Santa Fe showrooms, serving homeowners throughout central and northern New Mexico.
Solid and Engineered Hardwood
One of the first decisions when choosing hardwood is selecting between solid and engineered construction.
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood and is well suited to above-grade areas. It offers natural character and can be refinished multiple times over its lifespan.
Engineered hardwood features a real wood surface over layers of plywood. Its construction can make it a practical option for areas where solid hardwood may not be appropriate, including some below-grade spaces.
Both options provide the appearance of real wood, but their construction and installation considerations are different.

Customize the Look of Your Hardwood
Hardwood gives you several ways to create the appearance you want. Depending on the product, you can compare:
- Wood species and natural grain patterns
- Stain colors from light and natural to darker tones
- Smooth or more textured finishes
- Prefinished or site-finished flooring
Site-finished hardwood can provide more flexibility when selecting a stain color, while prefinished flooring can offer a quicker installation process.
Where Hardwood Flooring Works Best
Hardwood can be used throughout many areas of a home, but the construction of the flooring should match the location. Solid hardwood is generally suited to above-grade spaces, while engineered hardwood can provide more flexibility for different installation conditions.
Consider the room's moisture levels, subfloor, traffic, and overall use when deciding which type of hardwood is appropriate.
Hardwood That Can Last for Years
One of the advantages of hardwood flooring is its ability to be refinished. Solid hardwood can typically be refinished several times, while engineered hardwood may also be refinished depending on the thickness of its real wood veneer.
This can give homeowners an opportunity to refresh the appearance of their floors rather than replacing them when the surface eventually shows signs of wear.
Choose Hardwood Flooring for Your Home
The right hardwood floor comes down to more than color. Consider the type of construction, installation location, finish, maintenance needs, and overall design of your home before making a selection.
