Types of Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Multi-ply engineered wood floor:

Multi-ply is the most-used form of engineered wood flooring, with a multiple-layered design giving it excellent resistance and strength. Unlike other wooden floors, which are prone to shrinking and warping, multi-ply floors retain their shape effectively. They’re also stable and steady, which can prove helpful in soundproofing in rooms and spaces with a lot of foot traffic.

HDF core-engineered flooring:

HDF core flooring is the least-used of the three variants but has recently gained popularity. This type of flooring features a high-density floorboard (HDF) core made from recycled hardwood scraps. It’s strong, stable, and moisture-resistant, coping well with impacts, splashes, and spills. Those looking for a highly stable engineered wood floor should strongly consider HDF.

3-ply engineered floor:

A 3-ply floor has three individual layers of wood bonded together. The layers are positioned in opposing directions, giving the floor strength. While not quite as tough as multi-ply, 3-ply is often more affordable to install. It’s proven to be a popular choice with budget-conscious buyers.

Engineered Hardwood Flooring Installation in Greater Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado Counties

Engineered hardwood flooring is a fabulous choice for homes and businesses. It resembles authentic hardwood flooring but at a much lower price, as it is made of a plywood core with a veneer of natural hardwood on top. Affordable, beautiful, and versatile, there’s a lot to love about engineered wood flooring. However, for the best results, engineered hardwood installations should be left to professionals like the Clover Valley Home Service team.

Engineered Hardwood Flooring Repair and Refinishing in Greater Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado Counties

Even the best-engineered wood flooring wears over time. As pets and people walk across the floor, scratches and marks may appear. Time also takes its toll, and engineered flooring might look worn after ten years of wear and tear. Fortunately, the experienced tradesmen of Clover Valley can provide a range of repair and refinishing services for any engineered floor.

Benefits of Engineered Wooden Flooring

  • A big selling point of engineered wood flooring is its appearance. Since it’s fitted with a layer of natural hardwood on top, it looks like genuine hardwood flooring without a high price. Indeed, the typical engineered wood flooring cost is a fraction of the price of a traditional hardwood floor. However, homeowners still benefit from the distinctive beauty, warmth, and elegance that only wood can provide.

  • Engineered hardwood is water resistant, thanks to its design. The core layers that make up this flooring cope well with exposure to moisture, and it’s even possible to invest in waterproof engineered hardwood for spaces where splashes and spills are likely, like bathrooms and kitchens. The water-resistant nature of engineered wood makes it an exciting alternative to solid hardwood, which doesn’t tend to deal with water as well.

  • One of the wonders of engineered wood floors is that they can work in nearly any room. With their unique beauty, myriad colors, and impressive durability, these floors are well-suited for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and more. Their strength and aesthetics also make them a suitable option for those busy areas of the home that tend to see the most foot traffic, like hallways or entrances.

  • Engineered hardwood floors are versatile and varied, with many options from which to choose. Homeowners can choose almost any look for their engineered wooden floors. Oak, hickory, maple, and birch are some popular options. There are also many different hues, shades, grain patterns, and styles to pick from, like minimalistic gray planks or more detailed and rustic browns.

  • The best-engineered hardwood flooring is also exceptionally durable. Although not quite as strong or tough as hardwood, it's still a resistant, long-lasting option, able to deal with scratches, stains, and muddy feet. Even in homes with pets and children, engineered hardwood can withstand time, suffering only minimal damage. Keeping it clean, fresh, and beautiful for years doesn’t require much maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Engineered wooden flooring comprises layers of wood that have been processed and bound together. It typically has a plywood core, with a thin layer of natural hardwood on the surface for aesthetics.

  • This type of flooring is generally considered sustainable, as making it requires smaller amounts of fossil fuels than other materials.

  • It all depends on what the buyer wants. Both types have advantages, with solid wood being longer-lasting and more suitable for repeated refinishing. Engineered wood has the benefit of being less expensive and more resistant to moisture.

  • Since the top layer of hardwood is so thin, engineered floors can only be refinished once or twice in most cases. Low-quality engineered wood flooring isn’t suitable for sanding either and must be looked after carefully.

  • Buying engineered wooden floors designed to look like various hardwoods is possible. Options include oak, ash, beech, maple, hickory, and walnut.
