Armstrong engineered hardwood wear layer.

Floors with a wear layer less than 2 millimeters thick can tolerate a light scuff sanding with a buffer. The top layer of engineered flooring is wood so hardness depends on the species. The difference is that instead of a photographic image of wood grain under a clear coat wear layer mass timber has actual hardwood on top. Oak maple and hickory are naturally harder so they resist dents scratches and other signs of wear better than softer woods like birch cherry and walnut.

The boards become interlocking planks which fit together in a drop and lock method. Yes they can at least once. An industry leading manufacturer of innovative flooring products focusing on design performance and durability for the home and commercial applications. Staple glue or float.

Quality hardwood veneer wear layer. Engineered wood flooring has a layered structure. An engineered floor with a 3 millimeter top for instance can handle two refinishings. Complete with a 30 year warranty and an 11 coat aluminum oxide finish.

The dense core allows for rigid core floors to be significantly thinner than traditional hardwood floors with wpc floors being thicker than spc products. 2mm is a decent veneer thickness while 3mm and above assures you of a high quality flooring that can be refinished multiple times with a 50 year plus lifespan. The thickness of the solid wood wear layer is crucial to the overall quality and longevity of your engineered flooring. This structure makes engineered wood flooring a great choice for basements over concrete subfloors and over radiant heating systems.

Brazilian cherry walnut white oak maple and red oak. This high end collection is a 5 wide by 5 8 thick with a 4mm wear layer that can be refinished 2 or 3 times. Wood top and backing with a strong stable core made from cross layers of pressed plywood. Performance plus a click locking engineered hardwood floor with an acrylic impregnated wear layer for superior resistance against wear and tear.

Thicker top layers can be sanded just like solid wood allowing you to erase deeper scratches and dents. This is how the thickness of a wear layer becomes important in selecting an engineered floor. Engineered wood flooring can inflate thickness by adding more layers of plywood or particle board but still only offer a thin veneer of real wood on top. Much like vinyl or laminate planks engineered hardwood is made up of layers.
