KANGTON Latest Wooden Veneer Engineer Wood Flooring

Engineered wood flooring is ideal for basements or other rooms below ground level where temperature changes and humidity may cause the floor to expand and contract more dramatically. Engineered wood flooring is also a good choice to install over concrete or over radiant heating systems. Engineered flooring was originally created to improve performance in higher humidity environments. In areas where relative humidity consistently drops below 30% for extended periods of time a solid structure should be considered.

When looking at solid and engineered hardwood flooring, there is virtually no difference to the eye as we use the exact wood to craft both structures. This is not true for all flooring so be sure to compare the visual impact of choosing an engineered or solid floor. Both types of flooring are available in a wide range of hardwoods and may be colored and finished in a broad range of hues and textures.

Engineered hardwood flooring is made of a top level of hardwood – this is the layer that is visible and that gets walked on. Beneath the top layer are 3 to 11 layers of backing material which may also be hardwood, plywood or fiberboard.
