Not sure whether to get wood floors in new home!!!
Engineered flooring is halfway between the laminates and true hardwood. Engineered, have a thick (3/16'') veneer of the given specie of wood over a substrate of plywood. These floor are very good, and they scratch no easier than traditional hardwood
I got estimates not long ago, they said since I have a dog they would not recommend high gloss because it would show scratches really bad, I love hardwood floors not sure what you mean by engineered but anything is better than carpet
