Some hardwoods are stronger than others. Hickory, oak, and walnut are some of the hardest domestic species, with cherry and maple not far behind. An exotic species (harvested outside the U.S., usually in Brazil, Indonesia, or Africa) are the hardest of all. If you have extra durability needs, be sure to mention this to your flooring pro.
Solid is a tongue and groove, then it’s nailed or glued. It requires extensive subfloor restoration and, because of moisture issues, it is not recommended for installation over concrete. Engineered also offers a floating floor. Here, the pieces click together, forming a mat which then hovers over a subfloor. The subfloors need to be clean, dry, and level.
