Advantages of a Prefinished Engineered Hardwood Floor
Advantages of Gluing Down a Prefinished Engineered Hardwood Floor
There are a number of reasons one might choose a prefinished Engineered wood floor for their home over a solid hardwood product:
1. Engineered flooring provides most of the advantages of a solid hardwood floor, beauty, durability, warmth. And, once the floor is down it’s difficult to tell whether it is solid or engineered flooring.
2. The prefinish on an engineered hardwood is sturdy and provides a quicker installation time than on-site finishing. In fact, it can cut the install time in half over an on-site finishing job.
3. If the floor is above grade, no moisture barrier is needed to maintain your warranty. The plywood “platform” that makes up the bulk of the flooring product acts as a buffer against moisture issues coming from the sub-floor.
4. If you are installing on a concrete sub-floor, then no plywood sub-floor is needed. This allows for a reduction of height differences between your wood floor and other surfaces in the house, such as tile or linoleum. This also saves both time and money.
5. It’s significantly less expensive. The product itself costs less than a solid wood floor. Then the install costs less because there is no need for a moisture barrier.
6. It’s “greener.” Since an engineered hardwood floor uses thinner strips of the wood itself, impact on old growth forests is reduced. The plywood is made up of quick-growth forest products.
