When you live in the Pacific Northwest, you may be hesitant to purchase hardwood flooring. Moisture issues and humidity are the most common problems. However, engineered hardwood flooring can handle temperature changes and moisture better than its traditional counterpart.
Here are the benefits of buying engineered hardwood from Nielsen Brothers Flooring:
There are so many misconceptions about engineered wood flooring. It’s not “fake wood” or bulletproof, but it is made with a real wood veneer top and stable plywood core. It looks great and is stable, which is why the Nielsen Brothers Flooring team recommends it. We will walk you through everything from the veneer thickness to the core construction for your needs. Come on down to our Lynnwood, WA, flooring outlet or contact us to book an in-home consultation with our owner today!
Engineered wood is often referred to as the “man-made” floor. Check out why homeowners love it:
Because of its layered construction, engineered hardwood flooring resists expansion and contraction. The plywood core is the difference. Engineered wood floors can be installed in basements, over concrete slabs and some radiant heat systems.
The top layer is genuine hardwood. Choose the species you love whether that’s oak, maple, hickory, walnut or an exotic species. It’s not simply an image like you see on laminate or luxury vinyl flooring. The planks look and feel real because they are.
Engineered hardwood floors are common in basements and over concrete slabs. The plywood core lets the planks handle moisture without warping or cupping. You can finish your basement, install over radiant-heated concrete or have consistent flooring throughout your multi-level home.
Engineered wood flooring products arrive from the factory with a UV-cured finish you don’t have to wait to dry. You can install this flooring quicker and walk on your new floors that same day.
The upfront costs are lower for engineered hardwood flooring. This lets you get your real hardwood flooring without giving up quality or appearance. If you want a consistent look throughout your home without overspending, this is the way to go.

Do you have any Question?
Engineered hardwood is made from real wood veneer that’s bonded to a stable plywood core. These products are stable, suitable for below-grade installations and handle moisture better. Meanwhile, solid hardwood planks come from a single piece of timber and can be refinished enough times to last a century.
Yes, engineered wood flooring products are suitable for below-grade installations. The layered plywood core can stand up to moisture and temperature fluctuations. However, in most cases, moisture testing, underlayment and vapor barriers are required.
Installation timelines can vary based on the square footage of your space and complexity of your project. However, floating floor installations can often be completed within a few days. We offer a timeline estimate during your consultation.
At most, engineered hardwood flooring can be refinished once or twice. It depends on the thickness of the real wood veneer top, but solid hardwood is often the better option.
