Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Engineered hardwood flooring represents all of the traditional aesthetics of solid hardwood, with an innovation of design that makes it even more versatile! Comprised of several layers – the top layer being a species of real hardwood – engineered hardwood flooring is a robust flooring option that allows you to install your chosen color, cut, finish, and surface texture in areas where solid hardwood is not recommended.

The core layer of engineered hardwood is made up of high-density or medium density fiberboard. This multi-ply layer allows the engineered flooring to expand and contract with changing temperature and moisture levels without affecting your floor the way a solid hardwood floor would be affected. This means that for interiors that are not environmentally controlled, like a cottage or summer home, or in below-grade installations, engineered hardwood flooring is a clear choice! Engineered hardwood flooring can also be installed over radiant heat. Where this choice is usually actively discouraged by experienced installers due to solid hardwood’s more sensitive nature, it is not a problem with engineered hardwood flooring.

Engineered hardwood flooring is very versatile and has a number of different applications. For example, an engineered wood floor can be installed below grade and on a concrete subfloor, either as a direct glue-down or a floating floor. Engineered flooring is also an excellent choice for geographical areas with higher humidity or moisture levels.
