Hardwood Specifications Engineered Solid Flooring Pre-Finished Un-finished Engineered hardwood is comprised of 3 to 9 layers of heat-pressed plywood, and a premium hardwood top layer. The underlayment is constructed in a cross-grained configuration and then heat-bonded to provide superior strength. As a result, engineered hardwood is less susceptible to changes in humidity. Installation Methods Nail Glue Float Staple Nailed floor installation is usually required for solid hardwood flooring construction. Professional installers use either a high-velocity compressed-air gun or manual pressure gun to fasten cleats into the hardwood. To compensate for expansion, installers will leave expansion gaps around the edge of the wall and hide these areas with base or quarter round molding. This technique is also used for engineered hardwood installation. Unlike solid hardwood, engineered flooring is less susceptible to relative humidity due to the products plywood foundation. In this instance, only small expansion gaps are required around the perimeter of the installed room. Available Finish Types Matte (20% Luster) Satin (40% Luster) Semi-Gloss (55% Luster) Gloss (70% Luster) A matte finish is the lowest luster available for finishes. Floors with a matte finish reflect the least amount of light when viewed from a standing position. We’re Ready to Stand Behind, What You’re Going to Stand On!
