Engineering Hardwood
The structure of engineered wood flooring makes it a versatile hardwood option for areas where humidity and temperature could be a concern or over concrete slab or radiant heating systems. However, we still do not recommend installing engineered floors in laundry rooms or bathrooms. Scratch and dent resistance differs among wood species. The top layer of engineered flooring is wood, so hardness depends on the species. Oak, Maple and Hickory are naturally harder, so they resist dents, scratches and other signs of wear better than softer woods.
