Unlike solid hardwood, engineered flooring is designed to perform better in environments where moisture and temperature fluctuate.
How Engineered Hardwood is Made
Each plank is built with multiple layers:
- Top layer: Real hardwood veneer (oak, maple, hickory, walnut)
- Core layers: Plywood or high-density fiberboard for strength
- Backing layer: Stabilizes the plank and prevents movement
This construction makes engineered hardwood more reliable in real-life conditions.
