What is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?

  • Engineered Hardwood Flooring is made from layers of hardwood, plywood and High Density Fiber (HDF), leaving only the top layer as real prefinished hardwood. The Engineered Hardwood Floors are built up by gluing together a number of layers made of soft hardwood or plywood materials with a top layer of real prefinished hardwood floor.
  • Engineered Flooring is built together by gluing together a number of layers made of soft hardwood or plywood materials with a top layer of real prefinished hardwood floor. Of course, the more layers you have, the more stability and solidity you will get from your engineered hardwood floor. Most of our Wood Crafters Engineered Hardwood Floors come with at least 7 layers of plywood and HDF, this process creates a high-end product which lasts for many years to come.
  • One thing to remember, both of the hardwood floors contain real hardwood. While the Solid Hardwood Floors contain one-piece of hardwood plank, the engineered hardwood flooring contains only one layer of real hardwood that is the top one, the one you see and walk on.

Why Choose Engineered Flooring?

  • Engineered Hardwood Floors are specially engineered to overcome moisture and humidity issues that are prevalent with Solid Hardwood floors. Engineered hardwood floors have a higher stability and resistance to moisture than solid hardwood floors. Thanks to the layer structure, the twisting issue that occurs with solid hardwood floors is just not possible with Engineered Hardwood. That is why Engineered Hardwood Flooring is the best choice for rooms below ground level (like basements for example) or for tropical places with high levels of moisture.

Engineered Flooring Variety

  • Sizing for Engineered Flooring starts at 3” width, and goes up to 4”, 5”, 6” and even higher measurements. We carry hand-scraped, natural, and distressed engineered flooring with nearly every species of wood. Distressed Floors have an added texture to them give a rougher feeling. Hand-Scraped floors are a type of hardwood flooring that is hand sculpted to perfection. Distressed Flooring is created through a wire brush technique, and each plank looks unique from the next. One thing to know about Distressed Engineered Flooring is that the texture of the floor itself actually has a more rough feeling when compared to the smooth texture of natural engineered flooring. There are many stains to choose from several different schemes of color panels. The finish on Engineered Hardwood Flooring has a very vibrant end-result, giving your floor that look and feel which will accommodate the overall presentation of the entire room.

Can I Refinish Engineered Hardwood Floors?

  • Today’s Prefinished Engineered Hardwood Floors can last for over 40 years with the manufacturer finish. Refinishing Engineered Floors can be very easy with the right tools. Since the top layer of the engineered hardwood floor is real hardwood, the refinishing techniques will be similar to solid hardwood floors. One thing to remember when re-sanding Engineered Floors is that the top wood layer is very thin. With solid hardwood flooring you have the foundation of the whole plank (usually 3/4" thickness) of full wood to refinish on. You should always take a little extra care when refinishing on engineered flooring.
  • According to the NOFMA (The Wood Flooring Manufacturers Association), re-sanding hardwood floor shouldn’t remove more than 1/32” of material from the top layer of hardwood. That means that if your hardwood floor has a 1/16” Layer of hardwood, you can re sand it and refinish it two more times. Most of our Wood Crafters Engineered Hardwood Flooring can be re-sanded and refinished for at least three more times, a fact that promises you a product that can last for over 100 years.
