Engineered wood flooring is an exciting alternative to solid hardwood flooring. It is built having multiple thin ply layers that are glued together. Engineered flooring basically is a sandwich of finish wood and plywood. The finish wood is called the wear layer and it's what you see and walk on. The wear layer is glued on top surface of the core and is available in almost any hardwood species. The inner cores comprises 80-90% of the floor and are generally either a hardwood and/or soft plywood type of material, which incorporates the tongue and groove system.

Engineered wood flooring's greatest weakness is its thin top layer. Remarkably, this 1/16" to 1/8" finish layer can be sanded but only once or twice. Unlike solid hardwood, deep scratches and dents in engineered wood cannot be sanded out.

Another great thing about engineered wood is the range of installation options. The thinner varieties can be nailed down; the thicker kinds can be installed as floating floors. Floating floors are very easy to install. As long as your existing floor is level and stable, you can install the floating floor right on top.
