Engineered

  1. Stability: Engineered wood flooring is more stable than solid wood because of its layered construction. It is less susceptible to expansion and contraction due to changes in humidity and temperature, making it suitable for areas where solid wood might not be recommended, like basements or rooms with underfloor heating.
  2. Versatility: It can be installed in various ways, including glued down, nailed down, or floating (where the boards are not attached to the subfloor but rather interlock with each other).
  3. Appearance: Engineered wood flooring looks very similar to solid wood flooring because of the real wood veneer on the surface. It comes in a wide range of wood species, finishes, and colors, allowing homeowners to choose a style that complements their decor.
  4. Durability: The top layer of real wood is finished with a protective coating, usually made of aluminum oxide or polyurethane, which provides durability and resistance against scratches and wear.
  5. Environmentally Friendly: Engineered wood flooring uses less hardwood than solid wood flooring, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Additionally, some engineered wood products use sustainable or reclaimed wood for the core layers.
  6. Cost-Effective: Engineered wood flooring is often more affordable than solid wood flooring, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers who still want the look and feel of real wood.
