Affordable And Sustainable

Engineered wood is constructed of two layers. The top layer is a piece of beautiful hardwood, and the bottom layer is a high-quality plywood. Since only the top layer of engineered wood comes from the stunning woods we know and love for our hardwood floors typically you will find that engineered wood floors are more affordable than full fledged hardwood flooring. Since engineered wood uses less of the timber that would normally form the entire plank of a piece of hardwood, it is using fewer natural resources which makes choosing engineered wood for your home better overall for the environment.

Resistant To Moisture

The plywood layer of engineered wood is more sturdy and able to withstand moisture better than hardwood is known to do. Having a more stable base of plywood means your wood floors will be less likely to warp should your home be faced with excess moisture or water damage. This is a concern in many areas throughout Florida and may give you some peace of mind when considering the right floors for your home. Engineered wood does a better job of holding its shape than hardwood and this is also due to the strong plywood base.

Installation Is A Breeze

The process of installing engineered wood has the potential to be much easier than that of solid hardwood, which makes this one of the best reasons of all to consider engineered wood in your Cape Coral, FL home. With hardwood, the installation process is inflexible the wood must be nailed or stapled down. The installation process with engineered wood tends to have a bit more flexibility. Engineered wood can be nailed, stapled, glued, or even floated making the possibilities work better for many different homes. Another perk of engineered wood is that you have more flexibility with where you install it as well. Hardwood floors have a tendency to warp when faced with too much moisture, so it is not recommended that you install hardwood in areas like bathrooms, laundry rooms or kitchens. Since engineered wood is less susceptible to damage from water and moisture you can consider engineered wood in these areas.
