Our Hardwood Flooring in Draper, UT

At Wharton Hardwood Floors, we are best known for our solid hardwood. Solid hardwood is made from a single plank of wood, ensuring the ultimate integrity of your floors.  People like hardwood because it is easy to clean and maintain, and scratches can be sanded and corrected.

It's a great choice for families since there's no place for small items to hide and get lost. Because hardwood is harmless and non-toxic, it's even safe for babies learning to crawl. In fact, there is a notable improvement in childhood motor skills with wood floor exposure. Our options for hardwood include:

Our Engineered Wood Flooring Options

One alternative to solid hardwood is engineered hardwood. Unlike solid wood, these floors have a top or wear layer made of solid wood. This top layer covers a multi-layer plywood core. The thickness of the top layer and the core will vary depending on the design and the manufacturer. The total thickness can range from 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) to 3/4 inch (19 mm), which is the traditional thickness of solid wood.

On average, the industry norm is between 2 and 6 millimeters. Thicker wear layers are generally indicative of a higher quality product. You should consider the palpable benefits of engineered hardwood:

• Multiple Wood Species: Options include oak, maple, hickory, birch, cherry, and walnut, as well as exotic woods like African mahogany and tigerwood
• Variety of Widths: It comes in a variety of widths ranging from slim to wide planks and is offered in specialty looks such as multitone or hand-scraped
• Water Resilience: All wood products are prone to damage from flooding or standing water and should not be subjected to large amounts of water, but engineered wood is more stable than solid wood due to having multiple layers in its core, making it less likely to expand, contract, or shift when exposed to moisture, humidity, and temperature shifts
• Reduced Warping Risk: Its stability reduces the potential for warping that comes with all solid wood, particularly with wide planks of solid wood
• Flexible Installation: The stability of engineered wood makes it a good choice in places where solid wood should not be installed, such as over concrete floors or radiant heating systems
• Thickness Options: Engineered wood comes in more thicknesses than solid wood, which makes it great for thin wood to match the height of an adjoining floor
• Wide-Plank Varieties: Engineered wood is also a great way to get the look of wide-plank wood floors, a staple of farmhouse style, and it may be the only option for planks wider than 5 inches
• Cost-Effective: This wood is often less expensive than solid wood, but premium collections with thick top layers, artistic designs, and enhanced durability can have price tags on par with solid wood

If you like the look of wood but need something with more versatility, luxury vinyl plank and tile are good options. At Wharton Hardwood Floors, we carry options that mimic the look of hardwood and tile while still being made of durable vinyl. Consider the pros and cons:

• Pro: Waterproof, scratch-resistant, and durable, making them attractive options for families with kids and pets
• Pro: Less expensive than solid hardwood
• Pro: Comfortable to walk and stand on, reducing strain on your feet and knees
• Pro: Can be installed anywhere in your home, even potentially damp areas
• Pro: Comes in a variety of colors and textures
• Con: Minimal return on investment compared to solid hardwood
• Con: Vinyl is susceptible to sun damage, so direct sunlight will cause fading
• Con: Vinyl flooring emits gasses and volatile chemicals into your home called VOCs

In general, the government sets strict manufacturing regulations to control the VOC levels, but they're not always enough. There are widespread reports of health issues being traced back to vinyl flooring. We recommend looking for a floor that is advertised as low VOC.
