Engineered Wood Flooring
Engineered Wood Flooring is a type of flooring made from multiple layers of wood, designed to provide the appearance of solid wood while offering greater stability. The top layer, or veneer, is made from real hardwood, while the underlying layers are typically composed of plywood or high-density fiberboard. This construction helps resist warping and shrinking, making it suitable for various environments, including basements and areas with fluctuating humidity.
One of the key benefits of Engineered Wood Flooring is its ease of installation. It can be installed using various methods, such as glue-down, nail-down, or floating, allowing for flexibility based on the specific needs of a space. Additionally, it can be sanded and refinished, although not as many times as solid wood, extending its lifespan and maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
