Decorate Your Living Space With Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Updating the flooring in your home is a serious undertaking that can be quite confusing. Should you choose carpet or tile? How much flooring will you need to cover your living space? Will it be expensive?

While there may be a lot of questions circling around inside your head when it comes time to update the flooring in your home, there is one simple solution to your flooring needs when you choose to install engineered hardwood flooring from GoHardwood.

What Is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?

Similar to solid hardwood flooring, engineered hardwood flooring is a type of flooring that is made from wood.

While solid hardwood flooring is created from a single piece of wood, engineered hardwood flooring has two layers. The top layer has an affixed veneer of hardwood which makes it more adaptable to changing temperatures than solid hardwood flooring. This makes it perfect to install in almost any floor of the house, including the basement.

Unlike solid hardwood flooring which uses only one piece of wood, engineered hardwood can be created using a variety of different hardwood and plywood.

Why Choose Engineered Hardwood Flooring Over Other Types Of Flooring?

1. Low Maintenance - Because it does not warp or swell, engineered hardwood floors are extremely low maintenance. Once you install this type of flooring in your home, you can enjoy its beauty for years to come without worrying about having to replace or repair it.

2. More Environmentally Friendly - If you are concerned about the impact your choice of flooring has on the environment, you might want to consider choosing engineered hardwood flooring over solid hardwood flooring. Because it does not create sawdust when being produced, the hardwood used for engineered hardwood uses less of a tree's wood.

3. Its Layers Trap Moisture - Because engineered hardwood is comprised of two layers, it is better at blocking moisture than other types of hardwood flooring. This can help provide extra stability to your flooring.

4. Easy Installation - Unlike solid hardwood flooring, engineered hardwood flooring is much easier to install. This makes it the flooring of choice for homeowner's who prefer to install their own flooring. When you buy engineered hardwood flooring from GoHardwood, you will find that installing your own flooring can be a cinch!
