Engineered Domestic Species
When you are looking for hardwood flooring at a lower price, check out engineered hardwood options. Due to its top layer of wood, this flooring gives the same beautiful look as hardwood without the expense. Carpet & Tile Mart has various engineered hardwood flooring options in different materials and colors. Create your dream space with our selection.
An Overview of Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood floors use a plywood underlayer with a thin layer of hardwood flooring on top. This design creates flooring that looks and feels like hardwood. Unlike regular hardwood, however, which must be nailed to the floor, engineered hardwood is usually available in glued or interlocking planks.
Advantages of Engineered Wood Floors
Engineered wood flooring creates an elevated look in your home while offering several advantages compared to similar flooring options, including:
- Price: This type of flooring looks like hardwood due to the thin planks on top, but it offers a lower price since it doesn't use solid wood.
- Life span: Engineered wood floors use durable wood varieties, meaning they can endure years of wear while still looking good.
- Resistance: The flooring resists water and temperature variations, allowing it to maintain its beautiful look even in challenging conditions.
- Maintenance: This flooring type is easy to maintain in your home, as it can be cleaned with a wet mop.
- Size: Engineered hardwood can vary greatly in size, with many available widths to give you the look you want.
Types of Domestic Hardwood Species
At Carpet & Tile Mart, depending on the look you prefer for your home, our two most popular domestic hardwood options are:
- Oak: This type of wood is easier to stain deeply and evenly. It features a more complex grain and an amber color.
- White oak: A lighter color and finer grain pattern distinguish this wood from typical oak. It is more resistant to rot and water damage.
Our engineered wood flooring comes from trusted brands like Shaw, Mohawk, Nubrisa, Robbins and CALI. These floors have finish options like aluminum oxide, which is the most durable choice for protecting your investment. Wire-brushed finishes give a natural textured finish and make your flooring more wear-resistant.
We also offer various gloss options, including matte, satin and high gloss, depending on your desired look. Match your flooring to your style with our range of colors. We provide light and dark varieties of wood. Some planks are more cool-toned, while others are brighter. Whether you prefer a statement-making floor or a subtle look, we have options for you.
