Engineered wood flooring is a great choice for homes because it’s strong, durable and sometimes a better fit than solid hardwoods.
Engineered wood is ideal for homes in high humidity and homes with concrete floors. The best part? engineered wood looks just like solid hardwood, but comes without the hefty maintenance needs.

Unlike solid hardwood flooring, engineered hardwood flooring is made up of multiple pieces, consisting of 3 – 12 thin layers of wood. Each wood layer is placed in a different direction and is bonded together using heat and pressure to create a very strong and durable piece of wood, preventing the hardwood floor from warping in environments with a lot of moisture and high humidity levels.
In contrast, solid wood flooring consists of single slabs of wood—making it more likely to shrink, expand, and warp than engineered wood flooring. This type of flooring is ideal for environments with low moisture and humidity.
One of the biggest decisions to consider when installing new hardwood floors in your home or commercial property is whether or not you want to install solid hardwood flooring or engineered hardwood flooring.
Depending on where in your house your new wood floors are going and your personal preferences, engineered hardwoods might be the best choice!

Although engineered hardwood flooring is extremely durable, it’s subject to wear and tear just like every other flooring material. Dog nails and high heel shoes can scratch the surface of hardwood floors, water can leave marks and cause rotting, and general aging can wear the wood down.
