Durability and Stability
The great advantage of engineered flooring is that it is more stable in “un-stable” climates compared to solid floors. Generally it can be installed over concrete as well as wood sub-floors. For many customers, due to their sub-floors, engineered hardwood is the only option.
Long-Lasting
Because there is less need to sand your hardwood flooring than in days gone by, the thinner hardwood surface layer that is common with engineered flooring can and will last a long time. Again this is also dependent upon the individual product.
Different Styles
The top layer of engineered wood flooring is made of real wood, and it is available in a wide range of species. Whether you prefer oak, maple, or teak flooring, it can be made for you. The top layer can also be refinished and colored in many different ways.
Cheaper than Solid Hardwood Flooring Cost
Engineered hardwood flooring offers a less expensive alternative to solid hardwood floors. Despite its cheaper price, the finished product feels and looks the same as solid wood flooring.
Better Temperature and Moisture Resistance
Aside from its durability, this flooring type offers great resistance to humidity and changes in temperature. This is made possible by the construction of the material. Because of its multiple layers, it is less likely to expand or contract when exposed to moisture and thermal changes.
Easy Installation
Usually, engineered wood floors come in tongue-and-groove planks that are easy to install. These planks naturally click together, making it ideal for a DIY installation. Aside from these, there are many various ways engineered hardwood floors can be installed depending on your preference and the layout of your property.
