Why Engineered Hardwood Flooring In Your Home?

Odds are your home is the perfect candidate for engineered hardwood floors. Engineered hardwood floors handle moisture changes better than solid hardwood. Large changes in moisture content can cause big problems for planks made with solid wood. Large seasonal humidity changes and prolonged vacancy times can cause moisture problems. Engineered floors with thick multilayered planks combat cupping in planks made from solid wood.

How To Compare Engineered Hardwood Floors

The quality of engineered wood flooring depends on how well the planks are made. Its bottom core is like plywood, made of multiple layers. Each layer's grain runs perpendicular to the one below it. This creates added stability.

When plys absorb excess moisture in the air, they will expand in opposing directions. This prevents the cupping that occurs to handle big changes in humidity. One of the most important parts of the construction is how many plys the flooring has. More plys equals more stability.

The veneer on top of engineered hardwood is a slab of solid wood. This is why is almost impossible to tell an engineered floor from a solid one.

The same Janka hardness ratings still apply when shopping for engineered hardwood. A hickory engineered floor will typically outlast a Birch or Larch wood floor.

Most of the engineered flooring from the US will feature Appalachian hardwoods. Large inventories of Red Oak, White Oak, Hard Maple, and Hickory are common with local sourced lumber.

Installation Options For An Engineered Wood Floor

A perk to engineered flooring is it allows more installation methods than solid. Engineered can be nailed or stapled down to a wooden subfloor. It can also be glued down (on wood or concrete subfloors, or even floated!

We recommend you nail or staple all hardwood floors if you can. The next best method is to glue down your planks. When installing over a concrete subfloor, glue down is the best way for a professional finish.

If you have an uneven subfloor, then using the floating installation method is best.

How To Save Money On Your Engineered Hardwood

Most of our engineered inventory is made in the United States. You can save a ton of money by purchasing lower grades of hardwood. Lower grades have more character, shorter boards, and more natural defects.

Expect to see expansive wood grain, mineral streaks, and higher color variation in grade under 1st Quality.
