Engineered Hardwood Flooring: Handscraped & Veneer

Benefits of Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Engineered hardwood flooring offers many distinct benefits over other flooring types, including traditional hardwood. Below are just a few reasons to consider using this product for your next flooring project.

A Beautiful Aesthetic

Engineered hardwood flooring gives you the look of hardwood without the cost and maintenance. This flooring has a natural, rustic look and is available in a wide variety of shades and wood types.

This flooring makes for a beautiful addition to your home or business. It can add warmth to a room and elevate your style with a vintage, distinctive look.

You’ll find that this flooring is available in multiple widths, including six inch and greater widths. These different widths can contribute to your floor’s overall appearance, and they give you more control over what the finished floor will look like.

Easy Installation

Engineered hardwood flooring is designed to be easy to install. Many of these planks feature beveled edges that click together for a secure hold.

Whether you perform the installation yourself or hire a professional, these planks are designed to help ensure you get great results and a beautiful finish.

Eco-Friendly Benefits

Engineered hardwood is manufactured in a more eco-friendly and sustainable way than traditional hardwood. The engineered flooring features a layer of hardwood that’s placed on top of quality plywood, so you still get that hardwood finish while requiring less product.

This construction method means that your floor will require less hardwood trees, helping to reduce tree consumption and maximizing the product’s sustainability.

Easy Maintenance

Thanks to a laminate wear layer, engineered flooring requires less maintenance and is more durable than hardwood. The wear layer helps to protect the flooring from scratches and damage.

While hardwood floors need to be periodically refinished, engineered hardwood is designed to be highly durable. Maintenance includes regular sweeping and dusting, as well as the occasional use of a wood floor cleaner. There’s no need to wet mop the floor with water, which could damage it.

Affordability

Engineered hardwood is more affordable than traditional hardwood, making it a highly popular option. With this product, you’ll get the same look of hardwood, plus greater durability, all for a lower cost.

In addition to being more affordable to initially purchase, engineered hardwood can be installed in a number of ways, and you can even accomplish the installation yourself. This means you could potentially save money over the cost of hiring a professional installer. You could also get to start enjoying your new flooring sooner.
