There are many factors to consider, including colour, texture, finish, price and the environmental impact of the product used. At Planchers St-Hubert, we offer an impressive range of flooring products for all tastes and budgets. In this blog, we present the qualities of engineered flooring, an option that is gaining in popularity. Happy reading!<\/p>\n<h2>What is engineered flooring?<\/h2>\n<p>To manufacture engineered flooring at the factory, the following elements must be layered and glued together:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A natural wood base<\/li>\n<li>Plywood (high-density fibre)<\/li>\n<li>Wood veneer (which provides texture and colour)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Engineered wood replaces hardwood in problem areas<\/h2>\n<p>Many people love the look of hardwood and want to install it throughout their homes. However, this noble material does not do well with humidity and heat, so it is not recommended to install it in basements or bathrooms. The good news? Engineered flooring is perfectly tolerant of the toughest conditions and looks just like hardwood!<\/p>\n<h2>What are the main qualities of engineered flooring?<\/h2>\n<p>An engineered wood floor has many advantageous properties, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Superior stability (resists warping)<\/li>\n<li>An infinite choice of finishes (you&#8217;ll find your favorite when you come see our samples!)<\/li>\n<li>Ease of installation (can be glued, clamped or nailed)<\/li>\n<li>A lower impact on the environment (use of recycled materials)<\/li>\n<li>Increased longevity (can be lightly sanded after a few years, if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, engineered wood is an ecological, economical and aesthetic solution.
