Make sure you know all about engineered hardwood flooring

We are often asked Is engineered hardwood flooring a real hardwood floor covering?
The answer is yes! While it’s not solid wood, through and through, it does feature a veneer of real wood atop layers of plywood construction.

The flooring is very durable and can tolerate far more environmental conditions than the solid variety. It’s better suited for areas that might experience dampness, humidity, or changes in temperature. It still has all the remarkable good looks and classic elegance you expect from real wood flooring.

Engineered hardwood flooring facts you should know

Just like solid hardwood, when you buy engineered hardwood flooring, you’ll get to choose from an excellent assortment of species types. Harder varieties are better suited for high traffic areas, so be sure to discuss your specific needs with our experienced flooring associates.

These real wood veneers are available in a variety of thicknesses. As you might expect, the thicker the veneer, the more durability, and lifespan you'll get. But thicker veneers also allow you more refinishing options, which also add to its lifespan.

Once you choose a species, you can then select your favorite stain color, with many options to choose from. Adding a finish is a great way to wrap up your project, and some even help to protect your floors against everyday wear and abuse.

It’s important to know that engineered hardwood flooring in Baton Rouge must be acclimated, just like the solid variety. The length of this process can vary, especially when weather conditions must be considered.
