engineered flooring knowledge?
Engineered flooring is often genuine wood. There is a top veneer of the money hardwood, laminated over several layers of plywood. There is no variation in dimension, and the product is very stable in terms of expansion and contraction. The ultimate advantage is the baked-on factory-finish which cannot be duplicated by on-site finishing. Some offer 50 year wear guarantees. For top quality hardwood floors, this is now the only way to go.
I have some knowledge of engineered wood floors. They are a viable alternative to regular hardwood floors but not as forgiving. They are wood but in fact they are essentially modified Pergo (plastic flooring). Given the choice, I would go with hardwood over engineered wood floors, Pergo over engineered wood floors. Just my opinion
