Is Engineered Hardwood Really Wood?

 

The short answer is, “yes,” but there are important differences to consider:

 

• Engineered hardwood flooring comprises up to seven layers of natural wood veneers pressed together cross-grain. This makes for a more stable that can manage heavy foot traffic, preventing planks from expanding or contracting due to humidity. Engineered hardwood can be installed on all levels of your home but still should be avoided in bathrooms or laundry rooms.
• Solid hardwood flooring is a traditional option. The simple, uniform construction comes in plank sizes that are usually ¾" thick. Although solid hardwood floors beautiful, they’re limited in where to install them. Solid hardwood should be kept in dry, cool spaces of your home without major foot traffic, like a bedroom or home office. It cannot be used below grade.

 

How To Plan Your Hardwood Installation

 

Hardwood flooring is durable and hypoallergenic, making it great for bedrooms, living rooms, and other commonly used spaces. While solid wood is only recommended for dry, above-grade areas, you can install engineered hardwood in basements and in light-moisture spaces like your kitchen and entryway.

 

 

We also have an innovative new product called Hydrotek™, which is genuine waterproof hardwood. It’s made by laminating a layer of wood to a durable vinyl sublayer. You can install Hydrotek in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-moisture, humid areas without worry. Regardless of which hardwood product is right for you, we recommend professional flooring installation for the best results.
