Understanding Engineered Hardwood Flooring

What is Engineered Hardwood?

Engineered hardwood is a versatile flooring option composed of multiple layers of wood. The top layer, known as the wear layer, consists of real hardwood, providing the classic look and feel of solid wood flooring. Beneath the wear layer, there are layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF), which enhance the stability and durability of the flooring.

Advantages of Engineered Hardwood

• Durability:

  Engineered hardwood is more resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations compared to solid wood, making it suitable for various environments.

• Versatility:

  It can be installed on various subfloors, including concrete, making it a versatile choice for different rooms in your home.

• Aesthetic Appeal:

  The real hardwood top layer offers the beauty of natural wood with various species and finishes to choose from.

• Easy Maintenance:

  Engineered hardwood is relatively easy to clean and maintain, ensuring your investment lasts for years.

Selecting the Right Flooring

Species and Finish

Explore the various wood species available, each with its unique grain patterns and colors. Choose a finish that suits your style, from matte to high-gloss.

Thickness and Wear Layer

Consider the thickness of the flooring and the depth of the wear layer based on your usage and the expected foot traffic in the area.

Installation Methods

Learn about different installation methods, including floating, glue-down, and nail-down, and determine which one is suitable for your project.
