Solid Vs. Engineered Wood Floors

It is often assumed that solid wood floors are not as stable as engineered wood floors, but according to the manufacturer, this is not always the case. Engineered wood flooring means that each flooring panel is made up of multiple layers of components, to achieve the desired thickness and wear. Engineered wood flooring is often perceived as more stable than solid wood, but this can depend on the manufacturer, construction, quality features (which we will discuss later) and where the wood flooring will be installed. It features engineered wood floors made in 8″ wide planks, up to 12′ long and installed directly on a concrete slab. There are two components of "thickness" when considering engineered flooring - that of the "backing", which provides the structure of the flooring, and the "wear layer", which is the surface you walk on after it's installed (we'll talk more about the wear layer in the next section). When considering engineered flooring options, the backing should be thicker than the wear layer to create the most stable engineered wood flooring plank. When considering solid wood flooring or engineered wood flooring, you ideally want a 3/16″ thick wear layer. Although it may cost more upfront to invest in higher quality solid wood flooring or engineered hardwood flooring with a thicker wear layer, you will be buying a floor that will last longer and cost cheaper to maintain over time. Your preferences, your site, your installation

Some people choose solid hardwood floors or engineered wood floors based on aesthetics.
