What is the difference between single and multi-layered flooring?
Both of these flooring types are in the ENGINEERED category, meaning they are both comprised of layers of solid wood, also known as plies, which are laminated together for added dimensional stability. Both have a premium hardwood top layer. The main difference between the two is the number of layers. A single strip floor has three layers – a bottom layer, core layer and top or wear layer. A Multi-Layer floor can have from five to ten plies in its composition again with a premium hardwood wear layer.
