Engineered Wood Floors - Glossary

Engineered Wood Floors - Engineered wood flooring is created from several layers of real wood
pressed together and glued. Using engineered flooring provides a quick and easy way to get a new floor with a
long-lasting factory-applied finish. Like solid wood floors, engineered wood flooring is available in a range
of thicknesses, and are finished in numerous styles, colors and stains. Since the various wood grains are
pressed together at different angles, engineered wood floors are extremely stable & secure. Because it's
laminated, it's more stable than solid wood, so you can put it over concrete or radiant floors, and not
worry about warping. This makes engineered flooring perfectly suitable for below-grade foundations such
as basements, utility rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. Dimensional stability also makes engineered floors
a good choice above radiant heating, and less likely to squeak or buckle in humid environments than solid
wood floors. They can be installed on any grade level with nail down, glue down, or floating methods.
