Engineered wood flooring comes in a variety of styles, species, and finishes to suit different aesthetic preferences and interior designs. Common wood species used for the top layer include oak, maple, walnut, and cherry, each offering distinct colors and grain patterns. The thickness of the wear layer can vary, with thicker wear layers allowing for multiple refinishing processes over the lifespan of the flooring.
Some engineered wood floors are designed to be glued down directly to the subfloor, providing a secure and permanent installation method. Others are engineered for floating installation, where the planks are locked together and laid over an underlayment. This versatility in installation methods makes engineered wood flooring adaptable to different environments and subfloor conditions.
