Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood is a good choice in areas of your home where you might be concerned about true hardwood warping due to high humidity levels, like in a damp basement. Additionally, as engineered hardwood floors use less expensive solid wood, they are typically a more cost-effective option.
One drawback to engineered wood is that it’s not able to be sanded down or refinished as frequently as you could with true hardwood floors because of the thin top veneer. However, you can apply the same high-quality coatings to engineered wood floors that you can to traditional hardwood, making them very resistant to wear and tear.
Just like with hardwood floors, you can choose from a variety of species of wood like oak, cherry, and hickory. The plank sizes and finishes are also identical.

Generally, planks are three-quarters of an inch thick, but width can vary. The standard width is between three and five inches, and most retailers will call this a “medium” or “standard” plank. Another popular style is wide planks which measure in at between five and ten inches and look beautiful in living spaces throughout the home.
Hardwood floors come finished in one of two ways.
Pre-finished wood will already have the finish applied before you install the planks. Unfinished hardwood will need to be sanded down and finished so that it is both shiny and moisture resistant after installation.
While all solid hardwood floors are hard, different species of wood will have different levels of hardness. Choosing a wood type that matches the amount of foot traffic that the room experiences is very important to ensuring your floors don’t experience excessive wear and tear.
