Many homeowners prefer hardwood flooring. It’s easy to care for, lasts a long time and most of all – it’s gorgeous. However, it’s not the most eco-friendly option. For this reason, bamboo flooring is a better choice.

Hardwood floors are extremely popular; and with good reason. They’re easy to clean, long-lasting and most of all – beautiful. Most consider true hardwood flooring the best. However, there are many options on the market today that only an expert can tell is not authentic wood. They are just as beautiful and some say more practical, for a number of reasons.
One of these options is engineered wood flooring.
What is Engineered Wood Flooring?
This type of flooring is a man-made, wood product. Consisting of five to nine layers, the wood is laminated together using a cross-ply construction method. The top layer of engineered wood flooring is made from a solid wood veneer. It’s known as the “wear layer.” How thick this layer is determines how much it costs. The thicker this layer, the more expensive the flooring.
