If you are going to install a new wood floor, at first, you need to think about the moisture levels in sub floor. The moisture levels could not exceed 2-3%. If the room is borderline when it comes to moisture levels, there is no getting away from the fact that you’s be safer to opt for engineered hardwood flooring than real wood flooring. Making this choice, along with a suitable membrane or underlay will help reassure you about the longevity of your floor.

With little difference between solid and engineered wood flooring prices, your budget shouldn’t be a huge driving factor in your decision-making process because irrespective of the amount you have to spend.
