ABOUT ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORING

Engineered hardwood flooring is a type of floor that has been created from several wood plies – or layers. (Unlike solid hardwood floors which are made from one piece of wood.) Engineered wood floors are still considered “hardwood,” but they are built in layers of hardwood. That difference in construction is what determines how engineered wood flooring performs. Layered construction is more stable than solid wood, and it’s also less susceptible to shrinking and expanding. Like all hardwood floors, engineered hardwood flooring comes in a wide variety of wood species, stains and surface treatments.
