They’re made up of layers with a thin layer of hardwood on top and several layers of high-quality plywood as a base. The thickness of the boards can vary, but is generally between ⅜ to ¾-inch. Many engineered wood floors come with pre-finishes, but can also be finished on-site. Engineered floors can withstand moisture better than hardwood, adding to their durability. Engineered floors can be lightly sanded once or twice, but depends on the thickness of the top hardwood layer, known as a wear layer. Give Your Home a Classic Hardwood Look At Michael’s Flooring, we have a variety of engineered wood floors to choose from. Just like real hardwood floors, you can choose between several types of wood, including hickory, oak, maple, and others. The type of wood that best suits your home will depend on your budget and the overall look you’re wanting to achieve in the space. You can also choose between matte, semi-gloss, and high-gloss. There are also options surrounding the surface of the floors. You can choose a worn appearance, a distressed look, or a wire-brushed look. Beautiful and Durable A significant benefit of engineered flooring is its durability. Engineered floors can contain anywhere from three and 12 cross layers of plywood. The plywood layers are positioned in different directions, preventing them from warping or bowing after coming in contact with moisture. Floors with a pre-finish are also scratch-resistant, making them a great choice for pet owners.
