Designed and constructed to provide better stability and resistance when moisture or heat may cause problems for solid wood floors, engineered wood flooring has many advantages over many other types of flooring.  Here are some of those advantages:

	Engineered wood flooring generally costs less than solid wood flooring.
	Engineered wood flooring is made with real wood species and looks solid engineered.
	The floors are more resistant to higher moisture levels compared to solid flooring, making them excellent choices for areas over radiant heat sources, damp basements, and areas not environmentally controlled all year long, such as cottages or summer homes.
	Engineered floors can be installed on any grade level, whether above-ground, below-ground, or at ground level.
	Ease of installation:  Engineered floors can be nailed, stapled or glued down, or floated over a wide variety of subfloors, including some types of existing flooring, provided the floorings are tightly secured to the subfloor, and are clean, level and dry.
	These floors are available in many different sizes, species, and styles.
	Some engineered wood floors may have a very thick wear layer, which can be sanded and refinished as you would with a solid engineered floor.
