Engineered Hardwood Flooring in Vancouver

Engineered hardwood is a real wood floor. The top layer is solid hardwood, the same oak, maple or walnut you would see in a solid board, bonded to a core of cross-layered wood. Because the layers run in different directions, the board resists the swelling and shrinking that solid wood goes through as the seasons change.

From across the room you cannot tell it apart from solid, and underfoot it feels the same. The difference shows up over the years: fewer gaps in winter and less cupping in a damp spring.

Wear layer. This is the solid hardwood on top. A thicker wear layer can be sanded and refinished more times over the life of the floor. Ask us to show you the wear layer on each sample; it matters more than the overall board thickness.

Core. Plywood and other cross-layered cores differ in stability and in how they handle moisture. We explain the trade-offs for your room.

Finish. Factory finishes are cured before the floor arrives, so there is no on-site finishing smell. Matte and brushed finishes hide everyday wear in a busy home.
