ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING
What is Engineered Hardwood?
Engineered wood floors are made up of a real hardwood layer on top with a wood composite underneath. This composite is made up of several layers that are positioned in different directions that add to the durability of the floor.
Better for the Environment
For every square foot of 3/4 " thick solid wood flooring manufactured, you can manufacture 4 times the amount into engineered wood flooring. It is manufactured from fast-growing underutilized, and less expensive wood species.
Designed to reduce the moisture problems that solid hardwood has.
Because of the construction, engineered hardwood will not warp or swell as much as solid hardwood.
You can refinish but options are limited.
As long as the top layer of your flooring is 3mm or more, you can refinish your engineered hardwood floors.
It is difficult to tell apart from solid wood once installed.
Because a real layer of wood is used on top it is hard to tell the difference between solid and engineered wood once it is installed.
