 What is Engineered Hardwood Flooring? Engineered wood flooring is basically a multi-ply product. It usually consists of three or more plys with the top and bottom layer of the same or similar species and the core layer(s) oriented perpendicular to the surface layers. The surface layer can be rotary cut, sliced or sawn and this will affect the performance of the flooring in certain situations. Generally this flooring will be priced higher than solid wood but it has site condition advantages. Some engineered flooring can be floated (glued or connected together without connection to the sub floor), glued or fastened. It can be used in areas where humidity change would prohibit the use of solid wood (below grade, etc.) Many engineered products have a surface layer thick enough that refinishing is possible.. |
