When choosing flooring that balances beauty, durability, and performance, engineered wood flooring stands out as a top contender. Designed for real-world conditions, it offers the elegance of hardwood with added structural benefits.
Top Layer: 100% natural wood in various species for an authentic look.
Core: 5 to 9 layers of plywood laid in crisscross patterns for stability.
Bottom Layer: A solid wood backing for added strength.
This layered design makes it more stable than traditional hardwood flooring, especially in fluctuating climates.
