Advantages of Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Instructions

Versatility

  • Step 1:
    Engineered hardwood flooring can be used in damp areas such as basements and kitchens.

Expansion

  • Step 1:
    Engineered hardwood flooring is made in alternating lengthwise and widthwise layers, making it resistant to expansion and contraction, which cause floors to warp.

Installation

  • Step 1:
    Engineered hardwood floors can be installed over surfaces that other flooring cannot, including radiant heating systems.

Warranty

  • Step 1:
    Engineered hardwood floors come with warranties of up to 25 years, depending on the manufacturer and whether or not the floors are pre-finished.

Maintenance

  • Step 1:
    Engineered hardwood floors are very low maintenance, never needing to be sanded. They only need to be refinished a couple of times over their life span.
