What is pre-finished engineered flooring?
Engineered Hardwood flooring consists of layers of wood pressed together and glued. In our case the top layer is a veneer slice of a reclaimed species pressed onto a mixed hardwood backing. The benefits of pre-finished engineered flooring are: 1) it helps rare reclaimed species to last longer since you’re using less of it. 2) it can be used in applications where standard solid wood flooring is problematic – such as moisture prone area, concrete slabs, remodeling jobs (saw dust free=less mess) 3) It allows for very wide widths without the necessity of face nailing. This is because engineered flooring provides extra stability. It arrives to the customer sanded, finished, and ready to install. Also worth noting, is that pre-finished engineered wood flooring is estimated to make up half or more of the hardwood flooring industries sales, and it is the fastest growing product line in the industry.
