Engineered hardwood pairs a real hardwood wear layer with a stable plywood core. It handles moisture and temperature changes better than solid wood, so it performs well in spaces like basements and kitchens while keeping the true look and feel of wood.

Popular species and styles

• White Oak: versatile grain, great with light or dark stains
• Red Oak: classic look with warm grain
• Maple: smooth and modern
• Hickory: bold grain and strong dent resistance
• Walnut: rich color and natural character
  Available in matte, satin, or natural oil finishes and a range of plank widths.

Sizes and construction

‍
Boards come in various widths and lengths. The thickness of the top wear layer affects refinishability. With a thicker wear layer, many engineered floors can be sanded and refinished once to renew color and sheen.

Why homeowners choose engineered hardwood

• Stable: resists cupping and movement in moisture swings
• Flexible install: works over concrete slabs and can pair with radiant heat
• Real wood look: authentic grain and texture, not an imitation
• Value: wider planks and premium finishes at an approachable price
