Engineered wood products have plys (layers) of real wood that run perpendicular to one another. These perpendicular running plys help slow down the natural expansion and contraction of wood in hot/humid climates. Solid wood is one solid piece of wood, made from one particular species (for example oak, maple, or hickory). It is typically 3/4 of an inch thick but can be as thin as 5/16 of an inch. Solid wood floors can be sanded and refinished a few times by a professional sander and refinisher. Engineered hardwoods provide stronger and more durable surface finishes than solid wood floors. This is because they typically use a combination of both aluminum oxide and polyurethane.
The main difference is that ceramic tile absorbs water at a higher retention rate then porcelain tile. This means that ceramic is more likely to crack which is why porcelain is rated for heavy traffic, commercial, and exterior applications. When ceramic tile chips you will see the red clay backing. Many of the porcelain tiles use through body coloring technology where the color goes all the way through the tile.

Natural Stone
Maintenance is best done with warm water and a non-abrasive, clear, non-acidic cleaner.
Carpet
In order to maintain a beautiful and durable carpet, you must vacuum the carpet on a regular basis. Vacuuming prevents soil, dirt and dust from being permanently embedded in the carpet.

Laminate
Installation method is a floating floor system. The process involves using an underlayment or pad typically with a moisture barrier. This pad can be laid over concrete, tile, vinyl, or other approved products. The laminate is floated over this pad with an easy lock and go installation method.
Tile
Installation is typically done in two methods: thin set and mortar set. Mortar set is necessary for rectified installation methods, larger tiles, and natural stones. Thin set is used for bathrooms, smaller tiles, and larger grout joints. Mortar set is a more expensive installation method then thin set.
Natural Stone

Carpet
Stretch-In - This is the most common form of carpet installation in homes nowadays and used for rolls of broadloom carpet. The carpet is trimmed to the room's dimensions and placed on top of a pad. The carpet is attached using tackless strips around the edges of the room.
Glue Down – This technique is best suited for commercial/high traffic areas and indoor/outdoor carpeting. Instead of attaching to the padding, the carpet is simply glued to the subfloor (glue down) or its glued to the padding which is glued to the subfloor (double glue down).
