Why All Engineered Wood Floors are Not Created Equal
As a homeowner, you may be wondering whether you should choose engineered hardwood for your house. It’s a common question that’s often asked in wood floor showrooms. However, it’s important to note that the answer is not always straightforward, as there are several factors to consider, such as your lifestyle, home structure, and budget.
Engineered Multiply vs 3-Ply
One thing to consider when choosing engineered wood flooring is the construction method used. There are two main types: multiply and 3-ply. Multiply engineered wood floor is constructed with a hardwood veneer on top of the plywood, while 3-ply engineered wood floor has a hardwood veneer on top of two layers of other softwood. It’s important to note that more layers don’t necessarily mean better performance. The balance and bonding of each layer should be taken into consideration first and foremost.
Click Lock & Tongue&Groove
Another aspect to consider is the installation style. The two most popular styles for floating wood floors are the click lock and tongue and groove style planks.
Click lock engineered hardwood offers a glue-less installation through a self-locking system on each plank, making it faster and easier to install. Additionally, repairing damaged planks is also easier since you can remove and reinstall them easily.
Tongue and groove engineered hardwood, on the other hand, is more common since it’s compatible with various installation methods such as nail-down or glue-down. However, repairing it can be tricky since the planks are glued together with hardwood flooring glue.
