Calculate How Much Flooring You Need
Hardwood floors are a lifelong investment if installed correctly. Before you can begin the installation, you will need to calculate how much flooring your require. We have created a installation calculator to assist you when budgeting and shopping for your new hardwood floors in Ottawa. Below we have outlined some of the information needed to calculate:
Helping You Select The Best Hardwood Flooring
Both solid hardwood and engineered hardwood, while similar, have differentiating qualities that make them compatible for different homes and lifestyles. Below we have outlined some of the main differences between the two types of hardwood flooring:
| Engineered | Solid |
| Layers of hardwood with plywood core | 100% solid hardwood |
| Excellent water resistance | Potential to warp in humid & damp conditions |
| Can be installed anywhere in the home | Avoid basements & bathrooms |
| Lifespan of 20-30 years | Lifespan of 30-100 years (if maintained) |
| More cost-effective | Slightly more expensive |
Answers To Your Questions
Natural brown hardwood remains a top favorite, offering warmth and timeless appeal. White wood flooring is also a popular choice, providing a fresh, airy look that suits a variety of home styles.
For solid hardwood, thickness typically ranges between 5/16 and 3/4 inches, which is suitable for most residential spaces. Engineered hardwood comes in similar thicknesses and is a great option for added versatility, especially over different types of subfloors.
Installing hardwood floors on your own can be a cost-saving option, but it requires careful planning, precise cutting, and the right equipment. If you’re experienced with DIY home projects, you may feel confident tackling it. However, professional installation ensures a smooth, long-lasting finish with proper subfloor preparation.
With the right maintenance, hardwood floors are incredibly durable. Engineered hardwood can last between 20 and 30 years, while solid hardwood can endure for 30 to 100 years, depending on usage and upkeep.
Felt underlayment is commonly used because it helps prevent moisture issues while providing a stable surface. Cork is another excellent option, offering moisture resistance and extra cushioning—ideal for busy areas or rooms exposed to humidity.
