Engineered wood flooring is made from of a high-quality plywood core with a thin layer of hardwood flooring on top. It's different to laminate flooring in that the decorative top layer is made of real wood instead of a print. This real wood layer means that, on the surface, engineered wood flooring looks and feels almost identical to hardwood flooring. The second component of engineered wood flooring is the plywood core, which provides a base layer to which the decorative, real wood layer is bonded to. This core board provides strength and stability to the overall floor.
Discover more about how engineered wood flooring and laminate flooring differ.
Despite looking almost identical, engineered wood flooring has several advantages over solid hardwood flooring:
• Can be replaced more easily
• Usually sold in planks that are much wider
• A more budget-friendly flooring option
• Performs better in humid environments
• Less susceptible to warping and swelling
• Stronger and more stable
• Easy to install
Check out our detailed solid wood vs engineered wood guide to see the key differences.
Whether engineered wood or solid wood is better depends on a number of factors, including where you’re installing it, your budget, and style preference.
• Engineered wood flooring is a better choice in high-moisture and high-temperature rooms than solid hardwood.
• If you don’t want to break the bank, engineered wood will be much less expensive than solid wood.
• Solid hardwood might hold a slight prestige for some people and might add more value to your home in the long-run, but engineered wood looks just like solid wood once it's laid - and performs better!
