Why should I get engineered wood flooring in my home?

Engineered wood flooring is a type of hardwood flooring that’s made of multiple layers of timber, stuck together with a layer of hardwood lamella. Engineered wood differs from solid wood as its material is more durable and stable, but appearance wise they both look the same.

The flooring type is able to withstand moisture and high-temperature levels, that makes it an ideal long-lasting flooring solution for any home and family. Additionally, if you’re looking for a flooring solution that’s able to tolerate underfloor heating then engineered wood flooring is a great option for you.
