Engineered Wood Flooring- A Better Alternative For Moisture Areas

A better alternative for high-moisture areas than solid hardwood, engineered wood flooring is a superior solution in kitchens and bathrooms. There are a broad variety of styles to choose from when it comes to installing flooring around the home. As the name indicates, solid wood flooring is comprised of solid wood through its thickness.

Advantages:

One of its greatest advantages is that it can be sanded and polished several times throughout the length of its useful life, regardless of the species of wood used. Even though engineered wood flooring seems to be the same as solid wood, it is really made up of many thin layers of hardwood that are adhered to a high-quality plywood core. 

• Sanded and refinished:

However, since the surface hardwood layer on most engineered wood flooring is so thin, it can only be sanded and refinished once. No one kind of wood flooring has a distinct advantage; your decision is based on how much you value the relative benefits of each type of wood flooring.

Expert techniques:

• Long planks of hardwood are the most common kind of solid wood flooring. The boards interlock when mounted because the tongues and grooves cut into them on the opposing sides. 
• It is fastened to the subfloor, a technique that needs some expertise. Flooring made of solid wood may be sanded and refinished several times, extending its useful life.
• A thin layer of actual hardwood is glued to a premium-quality plywood layer that provides excellent stability for engineered wood flooring, which mimics the appearance and feel of real hardwood. 

Less costly:

Engineered wood floors may last up to 30 years with proper care and maintenance, and they are less costly and simpler to install than solid wood floors.
