An Introduction to Engineered Wood Flooring
If you love the look, feel and warmth provided by solid wood flooring but it’s simply not practical in your home or your budget won’t stretch to it, you might like to consider engineered wood flooring as an alternative. Read on to learn what engineered wood flooring is and how it could work in your home.
What is engineered wood flooring?
Engineered wood flooring is made up of several layers. The exact materials used will depend on the manufacturer, but engineered wood flooring features a real wood top layer. This thin layer allows you to have the look and feel of real wood in your home, often at a fraction of the price of solid wood. Underneath the real wood layer will be layers of softwood, fibreboard or plywood. These are all far cheaper than hardwood, meaning the cost of making engineered flooring isn’t as high.
