To begin with you need to look at where you plan on installing your new wood floor. Some wood floors are limited in where they can be installed. This is especially true for the 3/4" solid wood floors. Because 3/4" solid hardwood floors are more susceptible to moisture, they are generally not recommended for basements, or installing over concrete slabs. To help you determine which type of wood floors can go where, we have placed a house diagram on each of the wood construction pages for engineered, solid and longstrip. The installation method also can determine where are floor can go, so be sure to read our page called Install Methods as well..
