Built for Utah's Climate
Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood — Which Is Right for You?
Utah's dry climate creates real challenges for wood floors. Indoor humidity in Utah homes commonly swings from 15–25% in winter to 50%+ in summer — that kind of fluctuation causes solid hardwood to expand, contract, and gap. It's one of the most important conversations we have with every client before a single board is ordered.
- Solid hardwood — ¾" thick, can be refinished 6–8+ times. Best on main levels with controlled humidity.
- Engineered hardwood — Multi-ply construction handles Utah's swings better. Works over concrete & radiant heat.
- Site-finished — Sanded and finished after install. Seamless look, unlimited stain options, matches existing floors exactly.
