Solid wood floor is a solid piece of timber, cut from a tree milled into a plank and kiln dried; it should be installed in a moisture-controlled environment and is therefore not recommended for areas such as cellars, basements, conservatories or with under-floor
heating systems.

Engineered wood floors have a bit more work involved as they consist of a multi-ply, cross-laid backing with a veneer top layer of a selected species and design. Therefore, due to its construction, engineered flooring is more dimensionally stable and can be installed in areas where solid wood is not compatible.The cost compared to solid wood flooring is cheaper because the wood finish is only on the top layer. For example, if you want an oak finish, then only the top layer is oak and the lower layers will be made of a cheaper wood such as pine.
