What is an engineered floor?

Engineered floors are a type of flooring made from multiple layers of wood, with a hardwood veneer on top and plywood or high-density fiberboard layers beneath. This construction provides greater stability and resistance to moisture and temperature changes compared to solid hardwood floors. Engineered floors can be installed in various ways, including floating, glue-down, or nail-down methods. They are popular for their durability, ease of installation, and ability to be used in areas where solid hardwood may not be suitable, such as basements or over concrete slabs.
