Many homeowners are unsure how hardwood and engineered wood flooring differ. On the surface, they can seem highly similar and many are unable to tell the difference immediately without closer inspection. In general, engineered wood flooring is lower in cost than solid hardwood while retaining many of the desirable qualities of hardwood. Moreover, it performs better in high moisture environments and is more resistant to contraction and expansion. There are many reasons why a homeowner may prefer engineered wood flooring over solid wood. If you would like to learn about the full advantages and drawbacks of an engineered wood floor, contact Paul Taylor Flooring Edinburgh for assistance.
Benefits
Many clients ultimately choose engineered wood for their flooring for one key reason: it is much more resistant to moisture and humidity than solid wood due to the way it has been designed. It does not easily expand and contract, which allows it to be used where solid hardwood cannot. Engineered wood flooring performs well in basements or even directly over concrete with few problems. Additionally, it is also typically more affordable in cost than solid wood flooring and can last for a very long time.
Endurance
Like solid hardwood, engineered wood flooring can be sanded and refinished multiple times over the course of its lifetime to help restore its appearance and condition. This means that its endurance can rival that of solid wood flooring, while its resilience and resistance surpass solid wood in many ways. With professional floor fitting, you engineered wood flooring will last you close to a lifetime with some maintenance and care. Any scratches or scuffs can easily be sanded away to give your floor that new, lustrous look once again.
Style
Because the top layer of engineered wood is made from solid wood, the appearance of your engineered wood flooring is indistinguishable from hardwood. Engineered wood can be made from the same types of trees used to make hardwood floors. You will find a selection that includes maple, oak, birch, cherry, and other popular options in a range of widths and colours. The way that engineered wood is designed even allows for extra wide widths that solid hardwood cannot be found in. This provides a great degree of versatility when choosing a style that will complement the aesthetic of your home or make a room stand out.
