          Engineered Hardwood Flooring 101

          Engineered hardwood flooring is manufactured with tough layers of genuine wood and unique designs, making it an excellent choice for your home’s next flooring upgrade.

          With a wide selection of colors and styles available, engineered hardwood floor materials offer homeowners high-end flooring at affordable prices along with easy do-it-yourself installation.

          If you’ve fallen in love with the beauty of engineered hardwood, there are a few options you should consider before making your final selection.

          In this article, we discuss all you need to know about selecting engineered hardwood flooring for your home; let’s get started!

          Species of Engineered hardwood

          The genuine wood layer within engineered hardwood flooring offers today’s homeowners many different style and durability options.

          Each species of engineered hardwood flooring has a unique appearance and it’s own functionality advantages, so doing your research and choosing wisely will pay off.

          A few of the most popular species include:

          • Hickory

          Hickory is a hard domestic hardwood species with high moisture resistance, making it an excellent choice for rooms that experience frequent temperature changes and significant traffic.

          • American Walnut

          American Walnut is a softer hardwood with very distinct characteristics that make it a great option for adding rich character to any room needing visual detail and warmth.

          • Maple

          Maple is one of the most durable hardwood species, making it perfect for high-traffic areas of your home. Another perk of maple hardwood is that its unstained color is beautiful all on its own if you are looking for a natural wood-look option with high durability.

          Staining & Finishes

          When selecting your hardwood flooring, it’s important that you consider the type of tone/staining and finish you would like to see in your home and what will go best with your overall style.

          An unstained option is a great way to highlight the wood’s natural appearance and make your flooring stand out more. Whereas a stained option gives you the ability to choose from many different hues, some of which may be more in line with your home’s color profile or design.

          More than just staining, you should also consider the type of finish you’d like to see in your home and what fits your preferences best.

          Engineered Hardwood finish options include: High Gloss, Semi-Gloss, & Matte.

          Surface Textures

          The surface texture of the engineered hardwood you choose is another aspect that can affect its overall appearance and how it fits into your style.

          For a more uniform sleek look, you may prefer a smooth, clean surface texture for your home’s flooring, whereas a hand-scraped texture will add a lot more character and a much more lived-in feel.

          If you’re looking for something a bit more on the rustic side, you’ll want to go with the distressed look for a stylish aged appearance, which is a great option for country kitchens or cabin-style homes.

          Edge Style

          The edge style of your hardwood probably hasn’t even crossed your mind until now.

          But the truth is, after all your flooring is installed, even your choice of edge can make a difference, so it’s not a bad idea to consider this aspect as well.

          For example, square edges are great for clean uniformity, whereas beveled edges create deep grooves between each wood panel, adding visual interest and character to your flooring.

          Eased edges are another option if you’re interested in minor grooves between your flooring panels for additional detail.

          Where You’re Going to Buy Your Engineered Hardwood

          Last but certainly not least, where you buy your hardwood flooring is one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make.

          As you already know, not all engineered flooring is created equal, and depending on where you get it; you could easily pay way more than you need to.
