Engineered wood flooring is made from a real hardwood veneer<\/strong> layered over a core of cross-ply wood layers. This multi-layer construction gives you the authentic look and feel of hardwood while improving dimensional stability. Unlike solid wood, engineered planks are less prone to warping or cupping, even in rooms with fluctuating temperature or humidity.<\/p>\n With a variety of thicknesses available, engineered wood is suitable for almost any space \u2014 from living rooms and kitchens to basements or spaces with radiant heating.<\/p>\n Timbertop Treviso<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Thanks to its layered construction, engineered wood expands and contracts less than solid hardwood. This makes it ideal for areas with seasonal humidity changes or underfloor heating systems.<\/p>\n Engineered wood can be installed in more locations than solid hardwood, including over concrete slabs, radiant heat, and below-grade areas. Many planks come in click-lock or floating formats, making installation easier and faster.<\/p>\n Explore installation guides for each collection by clicking here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n The top hardwood veneer allows for sanding and refinishing (depending on thickness) or a screen and recoat, so your floors can maintain their beauty for years.
