Engineered wood flooring is a type of floor covering made from a composite material that consists of multiple layers of wood and other materials. The top layer of engineered wood flooring is usually made from a high-quality hardwood species, such as oak or maple, and is visible once the flooring is installed. The other layers beneath the top layer are typically made from cheaper and more stable materials, such as plywood or high-density fiberboard. This construction gives engineered wood flooring the look and feel of solid hardwood, but with added stability, durability, and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity. Engineered wood flooring is a popular choice for homeowners and builders due to its versatility, affordability, and ease of installation compared to solid hardwood flooring.
