3/8 Vs. 3/4 Hardwood
I was told the only practical difrence between 3/8 and 3/4 cherry floor (beside the cost) is the number of time you can refinish it. True?

Re: 3/8 Vs. 3/4 Hardwood
3/8" vs 3/4" cherry hardwood flooring.............
3/8" must be engineered flooring? 3/4 " solid hardwood? Big differences Wouldn't put solid in basement or over radiant heat. Refinishing would be about equal.

Re: 3/8 Vs. 3/4 Hardwood
The big difference is the ware layer, from the top of the tongue to the top of the board is the ware layer.This is usually 3/16 to 1/4 on 3/4 solid flooring, on engineered its usually alot less depends on the manufacturer. So the with less thickness for the ware layer the less it can be refinished. justin
