What Are Engineered Wood Floors?

Engineered wood flooring first appeared in the 60s as an alternative option to traditional wood. Since then, engineered wood floors have improved in aesthetic appearance and performance. Floor Coverings International® carries numerous wood species with a range of surface effects, dimensions, and options that are perfect for any room in your home. Whether you want a timeworn patina and opt for a hand-scraped effect, or decide on dark mahogany that highlights your open layout, we have what you want.

Engineered wood flooring is made of a visible layer of solid wood placed over manufactured materials and looks like hardwood planks. It has the elegant look of real hardwood with an engineered layer below constructed from high-density plywood and fiberboard. The planks are laid perpendicular to each other to form a sturdy lattice-like structure held together with a combination of wax and adhesive. Even though it has a thin layer of wood, the underside of it offers more resistant to water damage. Engineered wood floors also have plenty of custom options in terms of design and is environmentally friendly because its core and backing can consist of up to 70% repurposed wood.
