Advantages Of Engineered Wood Flooring
​
There are many reasons why home and business owners choose engineered hardwood. Those benefits include:
​
-
Looks just like real wood: A good quality engineered wood floor will fool even the strictest skeptics into thinking the floor could be solid wood.
​
-
Doesn’t expand and contract like solid wood does: Due to its clever construction, engineered hardwood flooring does not expand and contract to the same extent as solid wood does. Therefore, it’s safe to place in environments where solid wood would risk damage, such as kitchen and bathroom where moisture levels and temperatures fluctuate daily.
​
-
Durable: Because it is made up of layers of plywood that are bonded together and topped with a solid wood layer, this type of flooring is very tough and can withstand heavy footfall in both home and business environments.
​
-
Can be re-sanded and re-finished: How many times it can be re-sanded will depend on the thickness of the top layer, but the truth remains, engineered hardwood can be re-sanded to restore its luster and rid it of stains and imperfections. Likewise, you can refinish it for added protection.
​
-
Available in a range of species, grades and finishes: Engineered wood flooring has many options for its lamellas or top layers, with different grades of wood meaning you can choose the option that suits your budget. You could get a tough, lacquered low-budget option or you can go with an aged, oiled-top quality option.
​
-
Easy to install: This type of flooring is easy and quick to install, which means your project is finished in a fraction of the time.
​
-
Affordable: Engineered hardwood may look like it costs a fortune, but it’s actually quite affordable.
