Engineered Wood Floors are pre-finished, already sanded, stained and sealed, which can decrease the time required for installation. Unfinished solid hardwood must be sealed and there is a waiting time before its ready to use. (Note: solid hardwood is available pre-finished, as well.)
Engineered flooring is available in many species, just like solid hardwood, to suit every type of décor.
Here’s an example of a few popular woods available as engineered hardwood product:
Red and White Oak: Always looks great.
Maple: An elegant finish, appropriate for dining rooms, living rooms, and family rooms. Hickory: Classic and a great looking option.
