Engineered hardwood: Beautiful, durable flooring with contemporary designs
If
you’re looking to add luxury and warmth to your property while increasing its
value, engineered hardwood floors are an excellent way to get a timeless, natural style. Less
expensive than solid wood, with a high degree of strength and durability,
you’ll have a hard time distinguishing between engineered and its solid
counterpart. If you’re still not sure which installation would best suit your
home, check out the following benefits that will no doubt leave you impressed!
Cost-effective
Love the real wood look but worried solid planks may break
your budget? Equally attractive and hard-wearing engineered hardwood isn't just
less expensive, it's made of real wood too! Get the style, material, and price
you want without surpassing your renovation budget.
Same hardwood, same look
Once installed, you’ll quickly notice engineered planks look
exactly like solid wood. That’s because they’re both manufactured with
authentic hardwood. Engineered planks have a superficial wood layer called a veneer,
so you get the exact style and species you want!
Capable of sanding and refinishing
Since the veneer layer of engineered hardwood is true wood, that means you can sand and varnish it just like a solid hardwood. Whether the boards were damaged or you just want a new look, your floor can easily be redone provided the veneer is thick enough.
Resistant to humidity and temperature fluctuations
The real advantage of engineered hardwood is its
versatility. This type of floor is ‘engineered’ to create a dimensionally
stable core, allowing installation in more humid or temperature dynamic areas. Here
in New England, we’re accustomed to significant seasonal changes, making
engineered hardwood an appealing option.
Rigid and stable means easy installation solutions
There are several different installation methods available
when using engineered wood. Depending on your current room conditions, you may
be able to install them directly over uniformed underlay or plywood. Engineered
hardwood can also be glued, stapled, or a combination of the two. In some
conditions the floor can be floated over the existing subfloor.
