Best Flooring for Stairs (2026): Why Stairs Are the Hardest Surface in the House
Stairs concentrate every footstep onto one narrow edge, and a loose stair nose is a genuine fall hazard. Here's how to choose flooring that holds up on steps, why the stair-nose piece matters more than the plank, and when to hand the job to a pro.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is engineered hardwood real wood?
Yes — every hardwood floor we carry is genuine wood, with a real hardwood wear layer bonded over a dimensionally stable engineered core. You get the same species and grain as solid wood — White Oak, Hickory, Maple, Red Oak, Walnut and more — while the layered construction underneath helps the plank hold its shape through humidity and temperature swings. Every hardwood floor we stock is engineered, from Shaw Floors and Anderson Tuftex.
Is engineered hardwood flooring waterproof?
Engineered hardwood is water-resistant, not waterproof — it's real wood, so we'd never suggest treating it like tile. Many of our Shaw floors carry the Repel water-resistant finish, which adds protection against everyday spills and pet accidents when you wipe them up promptly. For a genuinely wet space like a full bathroom, a wood floor still isn't the right call.
What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood, while engineered hardwood is a real hardwood surface bonded over a multi-layer core that holds its shape far better as humidity changes. We carry engineered exclusively — every hardwood style in our catalog — because it gives you authentic wood underfoot with more stability and more places you can install it, including over concrete slabs where solid wood can't go. You still get the true species, surface texture and finish of a real hardwood floor.
Can engineered hardwood be installed over concrete or in a basement?
Yes — the engineered construction is exactly what makes this possible. Every hardwood floor we carry can be glued down, and many can also be floated, nailed or stapled, so a concrete slab or a below-grade room that rules out solid wood is fair game for engineered. As with any wood floor, let the planks acclimate to the room first and make sure your subfloor is clean, dry and flat before installing.
What is the best engineered hardwood for dogs and pets?
Look for a harder species paired with a textured surface. Our most scratch-forgiving floors combine White Oak or Hickory — two of the harder, more scratch-tolerant species we stock — with a wire-brushed texture that helps camouflage the occasional scuff, plus durable finishes like Shaw's ScufResist Platinum or a UV-cured aluminum-oxide topcoat. Ordering a sample or two is the smartest way to see how a finish wears in your own light before you commit.
How much does engineered hardwood cost per square foot?
Our engineered hardwood runs from $5.19 to $21.99 per square foot depending on species, plank width and finish, and every product page shows that per-square-foot price right alongside the full per-carton (box) price — no math surprises. Those are the manufacturer's advertised price (MAP): your order ships straight from the manufacturer in Dalton, GA, so you're paying for the floor without the retail showroom overhead, on the identical SKU with the identical manufacturer warranty. Lower prices may be available — request a quote by email using the 'Email us for today's best price' form on any product page.
How many boxes of hardwood flooring do I need?
Start with your room's square footage, then add about 10% for cuts, waste and future repairs — a little more if you're running a diagonal layout or have lots of angles. Each hardwood product page lists the square footage per carton next to the price, so you can divide your total coverage by the coverage per box to get your box count. When in doubt, round up: it's far easier to keep a spare plank from the same dye lot than to reorder one later.
Do you offer hardwood samples, and how do they work?
Order a sample of any style for $5 with shipping included, and the full $5 per sample comes back as credit toward your floor order. Just sign in at checkout with the same email you used to order your samples and the credit applies automatically — there's no promo code, it never expires, and every sample you ordered counts. You can order up to 4 samples per box, and each one is a roughly 6-inch swatch cut from a real production board, so you're holding the actual floor, not a printed card. Samples ship within 1 business day and typically arrive in 3–5 business days.
Do you ship hardwood flooring nationwide, and what is your return policy?
We ship hardwood flooring nationwide, straight from the manufacturer in Dalton, GA — FloorFreight is a national online store and an authorized Shaw dealer, not a local showroom. Flooring travels by freight, so orders under $1,799 ship at flat rates of $99 for one to two cartons or $199 for three or more, and freight is free once your order reaches $1,799; you'll always see the exact carton and freight totals in your cart before checkout. On returns, orders of 250 square feet or more can be returned unopened within 30 days of delivery with a 25% restocking fee and return freight paid by the customer, while orders under 250 square feet aren't eligible for return — which is exactly why we suggest sampling first.
