Engineered hardwood flooring
Real wood on top. A layered construction underneath. Engineered hardwood combines natural beauty with options for a wider range of installation conditions.
Know your floor
Natural wood, thoughtfully constructed.
A real hardwood surface sits over a layered core designed to improve dimensional stability. Species, surface thickness, finish and core construction vary by product. These details affect the feel, installation options and potential for future refinishing.
An honest comparison
The advantages. The trade-offs.
Why people choose it
- The grain, texture and character of real wood.
- Generally expands and contracts less than solid wood.
- Selected products suit concrete subfloors or below-grade rooms when installation requirements are met.
What to keep in mind
- It still needs controlled humidity and protection from excess moisture.
- Refinishing depends on the wear layer; some floors cannot be sanded.
- Price and quality vary significantly between constructions.
Installation matters
A good floor starts underneath.
Glue-down, nail-down or floating installation may be possible depending on the product. We check moisture, subfloor flatness and the manufacturer’s instructions, then help you choose the right approach for your space.
We can also help you coordinate flooring colours, textures and finishes with the rest of your interior. Bring your cabinet, paint or countertop samples to our showroom.
