Engineered hardwood floors combine the beauty of real wood with enhanced performance & increased stability. The exquisite charm of wood flooring complements any decor. It’s durable, natural, & renewable.
The thickness of the wear layer in engineered hardwood dictates how many times you can sand & refinish your flooring. It generally ranges from 1.5mm to 8mm. Thicker wear layers allow you to renew your floor more times than their thinner counterparts & add more years to the lifespan of your hardwood flooring.
Wood Species
The color variations & grain patterns play the biggest role in selecting a wood species. It’s equally important to look at how durable a particular species is to ensure the quality of your new flooring. Durable choices include hickory, oak, maple, walnut, & acacia.
Quality Finishes
Most finishes fall into two main categories, oil or polyurethane. Oil finishes enhance the beauty and natural color of the wood. Polyurethane finishes are stronger & add protection against wear & tear.
