Engineered wood flooring is a popular choice for many homeowners because it looks beautiful and can be installed quickly. However, there are some important considerations when laying engineered wood flooring that you should keep in mind before installation to make sure it lasts as long as possible. Laying engineered wood flooring on a flat and level surface will ensure optimal installation. Make sure the subfloor is clean, dry, and free of any knots or bumps that can cause seams in your finished product.
