Engineered Hardwood flooring

Engineered hardwood flooring suits today’s fashion trend for wider width flooring. More dimensionally stable than solid hardwood, this flooring is constructed with wood layers. The top layer (the “wood veneer”) is 100% natural hardwood, available in a variety of species. The bottom layer is made from layers of plywood that crisscross in different directions. The engineered construction creates a floor that is less likely to expand and contract when exposed to shifts in moisture, humidity and temperature. This makes engineered hardwood floors a great option in rooms that are subject to moisture (like basements) or over concrete. In comparison, solid hardwood flooring is made from 100% hardwood with each board being a single solid piece of wood. Solid hardwood flooring is a timeless classic valued for its beauty, authenticity and durability and is a great option when used in the correct application.
