Engineered hardwood flooring is a sophisticated alternative to solid hardwood. It consists of multiple layers of wood veneer, with a top layer made from real hardwood species like oak, maple, or hickory. Below this top layer, there are several layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard. These layers are bonded together under high pressure, which creates a stable and durable flooring option. The structure of engineered hardwood flooring makes it a more stable choice than solid hardwood. The cross-layered construction helps it resist warping and expanding in response to changes in temperature and humidity. This makes engineered hardwood particularly suited for environments where solid wood might struggle, such as basements or rooms with varying humidity levels.
