Product type
Engineered wood flooring is a versatile and durable flooring option made from multiple layers of wood. The top layer consists of real hardwood veneer, while the underlying layers are typically made from plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF), providing stability and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. This construction allows engineered wood flooring to be installed in a variety of environments, including basements and over radiant heating systems.

When selecting engineered wood flooring, consider the thickness and type of wear layer, as these factors influence durability and longevity. Specify the wood species for desired aesthetics and hardness. Additionally, think about the installation method that best suits your project, and ensure you have the appropriate quantities based on your space measurements. Certifications such as CARB compliance for low emissions may also be important for some buyers.
