What is Engineered Wood Flooring ? Engineered wood flooring should not be confused with laminate wood flooring. Engineered flooring is produced by adhering layers of veneer with real wood. The visual beauty of engineered wood is skin deep -- it’s essentially a thin wood veneer over a plywood substrate. But its practical qualities make it a good choice in moist environs where solid wood can’t go. Most engineered flooring is available in tongue-and-groove strips which must be stapled or glued to the subfloor. Many engineered floors can be abraded and recoated if the finish is not completely worn. When engineered flooring is constructed, the layers of wood are stacked in opposite directions which cause them to counteract each other's movements when humidity changes occur. This cross-ply construction method creates a floor product that is dimensionally stable. Therefore, it can be installed over concrete slabs below ground level, as well as anywhere else in the home. Engineered floors can be installed using either the nail-down or glue-down method; however, some manufacturers now offer a floating floor option. Engineered floors can also be installed over a variety of subfloors.
