Installing new floors is an excellent way to upgrade your living space and add value to your home. Despite the clear benefits of new flooring, it’s not always easy to decide what kind of floor you want. How do you find a flooring option that fits your style, suits your needs, and adds lasting value? Consider engineered hardwood, an excellent choice that achieves all of these things. Offering versatile style, long-lasting durability, and cost-effective installation, it’s no wonder why many homeowners turn to engineered hardwood to get the job done. Explore the benefits of using engineered hardwood in your home with this guide.
Affordable Yet Authentic
Unlike other options that merely mimic the appearance of solid hardwood, engineered hardwood consists of real wood. When you install engineered wood floors in your home, you get the look and feel of an authentic, natural wood product. Manufacturers make engineered wood floors out of a plywood or fiberboard core with a veneer of solid hardwood on top. This means it takes less wood to make each board, making the product more affordable. Additionally, engineered hardwood is easier to install than solid hardwood, so you can save time and money on your installation process.
A Style for Any Home
What style do you have or want in your home? Is your living room cozy and rustic? Do you host guests in a sleek, contemporary dining room? No matter what kind of home design you have, you can find an engineered hardwood option to complement it. There are a lot of details and decisions that go into choosing the right engineered hardwood flooring. You can find the perfect wood species, grade, stain, and finish to fit your home’s style.
Flooring That Will Last
Like solid hardwood, engineered wood flooring is very durable. Unlike flooring options such as carpet or linoleum, your engineered wood floors can hold up against daily wear and tear for decades. If your home sees a lot of activity—such as running kids or pets—you can choose a harder wood species to withstand the dents and scratches that come with everyday life. Plus, one of the unique benefits of using engineered hardwood in your home is that it offers better moisture resistance than solid hardwood. When time does eventually take its toll on your floors, you can sand and refinish them for a gleaming, brand-new look and feel.
