Solid or engineered hardwood, which do I need?

Solid wood is nailed over a wood subfloor and can be sanded many times. Engineered wood is glued or floated and is the right call over concrete slabs and in condos.

Can hardwood go over a concrete slab?

Engineered hardwood can, glued or floated with a moisture barrier and a tested slab. Solid wood cannot move safely on concrete.

How long does wood need to acclimate?

Usually several days in the room it will be installed in, so it reaches the same moisture content as the house. We schedule delivery accordingly.

How often can hardwood be refinished?

Solid 3/4-inch floors typically take three or four sandings over their life. Engineered floors depend on the wear layer and are often limited to one.

Do I need to control indoor humidity?

Yes. Solid wood wants indoor humidity held roughly between 35 and 55 percent year round. Crude swings cause gapping in winter and swelling in summer.

Will hardwood work in a Tysons condo?

Only engineered hardwood, glued or floated over the slab, and only if your association allows hard flooring. Many towers require an acoustic underlayment, so check the rule before you choose a product.

Hardwood Flooring in Tysons, VA — Floors and Beyond VA

Serving Tysons

Free in-home estimate

Floors and Beyond VA installs hardwood flooring in Tysons, VA, in single-family homes, townhomes and condos. We install solid and engineered hardwood, nailed over wood subfloor, glued down on concrete slabs, or floated where the assembly calls for it, and we finish on site when you want a custom stain. Our own crews handle acclimation, subfloor preparation, layout, installation, trim and cleanup. Tysons homeowners usually come to us with one of three goals: matching an original floor in part of the house, upgrading a builder-grade floor, or putting real wood into a main level that will be lived on hard. We bring plank and stain samples to your home so the color is chosen in your light, not in a showroom. Request a visit through our contact page to start.

Why Hardwood Flooring in Tysons

Hardwood choice in Tysons is decided by what is under the floor. Homes over a wood subfloor can usually take solid three-quarter-inch oak or maple, nailed down and sanded and finished in place. Towers and basements on concrete need engineered hardwood, glued or floated, because solid wood moves too much over a slab. Northern Virginia's humidity swing is the other factor: solid wood wants indoor humidity held roughly in the 35 to 55 percent range through the year, while engineered planks tolerate more slack. Solid floors can be refinished several times over their life, which matters in a home you plan to hold. Floors and Beyond VA will tell you which construction your rooms can carry before you fall in love with a color.

Local project notes

Tysons installations run on building schedules. We reserve freight elevators and loading docks, protect hallways and doorways, and keep work inside permitted hours, which usually means the noisiest nailing is scheduled deliberately rather than spread across the day. Wood needs to acclimate in your home before it goes down, so material gets delivered and opened a few days ahead on larger jobs. Older ramblers here often have a floor worth matching, so we check species and thickness before ordering. Call (703) 906-5698 or use our contact page to schedule a visit.
