What Is Engineered Hardwood?

Tuesday, February 14, 2017 4:44:07 PM America/New_York

Engineered Hardwood uses one of several processes to build the wood so it has a natural wood appearance yet has the advantages of engineered, or manufactured wood. These advantages are:

  • Dimensional Stability - All natural wood has a tendency to swell and shrink as a reaction to seasonal changes in ambient humidity. This varies by species; for example, white oak is more dimensionally stable than red oak is. Engineered wood is less susceptible to this tendency than almost all natural woods.
  • Warping, Cupping, Twisting - While well-dried wood has some resistance to additional shape changes, extreme humidity or water damage can still cause these reactions. Engineered wood resists these.
  • Economical - Because engineered hardwood uses less of the expensive hardwood per square foot of coverage, it costs less than solid hardwood of the same species.
  • Environment - If one oak tree can provide 400 square feet of hardwood flooring, the same tree could provide 1200 - 1600 square feet of engineered wood flooring, conserving our hardwood trees.
