Real wood on top. Engineered stability underneath.
Get Personalized Recommendation →Engineered hardwood gives you the beauty of real wood with better dimensional stability than solid hardwood. The top layer is genuine hardwood showing natural grain and character, while the engineered core resists warping and expansion. It's an excellent choice for areas where solid hardwood might struggle.
Solid hardwood is one piece of wood. Engineered has a real hardwood top layer bonded to a plywood or HDF core. Engineered is more stable, works with radiant heat, and can go over concrete. Solid can be refinished more times.
Yes, and this is one of its biggest advantages over solid hardwood. The engineered core handles temperature changes without warping. We'll recommend the right products and installation method for your radiant system.
The surface durability is identical since the top layer is real hardwood. The main trade-off is that engineered can be refinished fewer times. For most homeowners, 1 to 2 refinishes over a 25+ year lifespan is more than enough.
