How can i say that hardwood and engineered wood floors are really different with each other?
Hardwood is solid through and through. Engineered wood just has a top layer that is real wood.
Engineered wood is a multi layered wood similar to plywood. The bottom layers usually made of a pine and not the top layer which can be any other type of wood such as oak maple bamboo etc. True hardwood is solid throughout. Engineered is structurally sound and very dimensional.. True hard wood can be resanded several times in standard cases. Engineered wood can be resanded once at best. You can usually use engineered wood on slab ( but there are cautions you must follow). It can be glued or made into a floating floor in most cases. True hardwood holds it s value better in a house .
