ENGINEERED FLOORING
Engineered flooring is made up of a hardwood surface glued on a plywood base. Engineered hardwood flooring was originally designed for installation in areas with variable humidity levels and heat, such as homes with radiant heating, homes on top of a concrete slab or in basements (although it can also be installed at or above ground like sold hardwood).
Engineered flooring tends to be more stable than solid hardwood and is glued directly to the sub floor or concrete slab, or it is "floated" on a concrete slab or sub floor with a moisture barrier and underlay beneathEngineered flooring comes prefinished or raw timber which interlocks. The majority of engineered hardwood floors can actually be sanded and finished multiple times although the number of times it can be refinished depends on the thickness of the veneer; this is important because if you sand too much, you could wear away the flooring's whole layer of hardwood.
This product consists of 3-10 play layers that are cross layered and pressed together. The top layer is a thick hardwood veneer that is glued and pressed on top of the core surface. Plywood is a common material used in the construction of the core. Engineered wood is able to withstand moisture, which makes it a superior type of flooring to solid hardwood in areas of the home prone to moisture. Its multiple-ply plank design allows for it to counteract twisting, thus keeping it stable and flat.
