Engineer hardwood has a couple of downsides. These include only being able to withstand refinishing a few times because of its thin hardwood veneer. Additionally, they are vulnerable to water damage, and lower-quality engineered floors with weaker cores are more prone to dents and reduced durability over time.
In the end, the choice is up to you. Solid hardwood comes with the long-term advantages of being refinished several times and the ability to last up to a century. In contrast, engineered hardwood consists of multiple layers, offering additional durability and working best in homes with concrete subfloors or radiant heating. There are also more installation options. Solid hardwood will save you money over time, engineered hardwood offers more flexibility for installation and has lower upfront costs.
Generally, engineered hardwood floors last 20-30 years, which varies based on the quality of materials used. Keep in mind that a thicker hardwood veneer can lead to a longer lifespan.
Yes, when installing engineered hardwood, underlayment is highly recommended, especially when you use a floating floor. Underlayment offers sound absorption and added comfort underfoot. If you opt for glue-down or nail-down installation, underlayment may not be necessary.
Dry-mop or sweep your engineered hardwood floor to keep it in top shape. You can also use a damp (not wet) mop weekly or as needed. A pH-neutral wood floor cleaner will help maintain your floor’s finish.
Yes, unfortunately, engineered hardwood can scratch, especially if they use a softer species like pine or birch on top. Choosing a more durable wood, using felt pads on furniture area rugs, and regular sweeping can reduce these risks.
Yes, dogs can scratch engineered hardwood floors. This is especially true if they have long nails. More durable species like oak or hickory, using rugs in high-traffic areas, and keeping pet nails trimmed short can reduce the amount of damage.
You should wait 24-48 hours before walking on engineered hardwood floors after they are installed.
