The multi-layered structure of an engineered wood & floor makes a floor more stable than a solid wood floor system, even when temperature and ambient humidity varies throughout the seasons. The crossed layers counteract the natural movements of the timber flooring. Changing the direction of the fibres, throughout various layers, provides a more durable surface that is more tolerant to changes in humidity in the indoor climate. This also enables many quality engineered wooden floors to be installed over under floor heating systems.
Engineered wood flooring is also more environmentally-friendly than some solid wood flooring, as fast-growing wood species like pine are used for the intermediate layer, with a solid hardwood top layer typically Oak, Maple, Cherry, reducing the amount of valuable hardwood that would be needed for a solid wood floor.
High-quality engineered wood floors can be sanded three to four times over the lifetime of the floor, just like a solid wood floor.
