Wood flooring makes a beautiful addition to any household. It has a warm, timeless charm, is easy to maintain and offers excellent durability. However, quality wooden flooring can be expensive, especially if you are shopping on a budget. If you are looking for high quality flooring solution that is stylish and durable like solid wood floor, but at a more affordable price, take a look at engineered wood flooring. What Is Engineered Wood Flooring And Why Everyone Loves It Whether you are shopping on a budget or simply looking for a well priced flooring solution, engineered wood flooring can offer several benefits. How is engineered wood flooring made? While solid wood flooring is exactly what it says it is, engineered floor is made from modern adhesives, which consist of a plywood base and a solid hardwood top. The plywood foundation adds durability and stability, while the hardwood top gives it an authentic look. Top quality engineered wood flooring will look as good as solid wood flooring, and will even provide a few extra benefits solid floor doesn’t offer. It is one of the most cost effective options, and comes in a variety of styles and finishes. This flooring can also vary in thickness from 3/8" to 3/4". The thickness of the top layer will determine the price. The thicker the layer, the higher the price. Benefits Of Engineered Wood Floors As we have already mentioned, engineered flooring is ideal for anyone looking for quality at a more affordable price. Take a look at the benefits of engineered wood floors below. • Great price- Even though solid and engineered wood floors look exactly the same, engineered floor is much cheaper. • Durability- Depending on the thickness of top layer engineered wood flooring can last for decades.
