Wood
Engineered wood is a type of wood product made from layers of real wood veneers or fibers bonded together with adhesives. It combines multiple layers of wood to create a stable and durable product. Solid Hardwood is made from a single piece of wood, solid hardwood floors are known for their strength and longevity. They can be sanded and refinished multiple times, which helps them maintain their appearance over the years. Engineered wood offers better stability and versatility in installation, while solid wood provides the potential for multiplier finishes and a traditional look.
