What is the main difference between solid hardwood and engineered wood?
Solid hardwood is one piece of timber all the way through, while engineered wood consists of a real wood top layer over multiple layers of plywood. Engineered wood is more stable and better suited for areas with temperature fluctuations.
Can engineered wood flooring be sanded and refinished?
Yes! Depending on the thickness of the top "wear layer," most engineered floors can be professionally sanded and re-lacquered or oiled 2 to 3 times, giving them a very long lifespan.
Is it compatible with underfloor heating?
Engineered wood is the best choice for underfloor heating because its multi-layer construction allows it to handle the heat without shrinking or expanding like solid wood would.
