- Engineered Hardwood
-
Engineered wood flooring is a type of wood flooring comprised of layers of timber bonded under high pressure to form a plank/board, thus 'engineered'. Timber is a hygroscopic material meaning that it absorbs and expunges moisture from humidity in the surrounding atmosphere. When timber absorbs moisture (typically in the summer months) the plank will expand and then will shrink again when there is little moisture in the air (typically in the winter when central heating is turned on and removes moisture). By bonding layers of timber together the plank is more dimensionally stable.

Solid wood floors are those cut from a single continuous piece of hardwood. It has not been engineered or glued. A high quality and long lasting interior material.
As solid wood floors are solid all the way through, they are sensitive to moisture. Hence, it is not recommended to install the solid wood floors directly over new concrete slab or in areas with higher moisture content such as bathrooms, in some instances there are exceptions to this rule.
