“Engineered wood floors are constructed differently from solid wood floors and offer some advantages,” says Michel Collin, marketing director for Mercier Wood Flooring.
“Thanks to advancements in manufacturing technology, engineered wood floors can be used in almost any room in the home. This includes installing over dry, concrete slabs and some types of existing flooring, so now homeowners can enjoy the beauty of a real hardwood floor in areas they never thought possible before with solid wood flooring.”
Similar to regular hardwood, engineered wood flooring is created by fusing a veneer of hardwood to a bottom layer of cross-banded wood.
Ideal for bathrooms and basements, where solid wood floors aren’t often recommended, engineered floors offer stability, good looks and variety — and, they’re available in just as many species as regular hardwood.
“Engineered wood flooring is perfect anywhere,” he says. “Its versatility and timeless appeal make it an ideal match in any decor, from the basement to the bedroom.”
