Question:

Is engineered hardwood flooring ok in a kitchen?

We are re doing our kitchen and living room floor and we would like to do wood flooring. We have a concrete slab so from what I have read we can't go with solid which was what we wanted but a few people have said engineered would be fine just wanted more opinions from any one who has done it or know more about it

Answer:

Yes it ll be fine as long as care is taken when it comes to cleaning and you know that possibility of extra water in a kitchen area. Only 2 ways to apply engineeered wood over slab. You can have it glued down or a floating floor system. Some engineered woods come already to install in a floating floor and others you can make into a floating floor. Since you already have a good base ( the slab) I would suggest tile, perhaps in a wood look because of the potencial water and cleaning. The cost would be close to the same.But your house, your choice. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
