What is an engineered floor?
Engineered wood floors are produced by gluing multiple thin ply layers that are glued together. The top thicker hardwood veneer wear layer is glued on top surface of the core and is available in most any hardwood species. Engineered wood flooring should not be confused with laminate wood flooring. The main difference between engineered flooring and laminate flooring is that laminate contains no actual wood. Engineered floors are slightly more resistant to higher moisture levels than solid wood flooring, which adds to their appeal to use in damp basements. Engineered flooring can be installed on any grade level. One benefit of engineered flooring is that it can be re-sanded multiple times.
