How to know if hardwood flooring is for you

Since engineered wood flooring is made with durability and versatility, you will likely find a style that is perfect for your home. In addition, care and upkeep of the floor require minimal effort, so it fits into even the most active lifestyle.

Blue Ribbon Carpet Sales, Inc in Burbank, CA, can satisfy your hardwood flooring needs with superior planks from top companies like The Garrison Collection and Mohawk.

Good looks

When you choose engineered wood flooring, you enjoy the same elegant and upscale look for which solid hardwood flooring is known. That's because each plank has a surface layer of hardwood.

In addition, the best-engineered wood planks have a hardwood layer that is thick enough to sand down once if the floor becomes worn in future years.

Moisture tolerant

Engineered wood also has a base composed of numerous layers of plywood positioned in different directions. Because of this makeup, planks can tolerate moisture from spills or humidity.

It's essential to keep in mind, though, that the wood is not waterproof, and therefore, moisture should be controlled to avoid damage.

Floating floors

Engineered wood flooring planks are designed as a floating floor installation, and because they fit tightly together, they do not need to be attached to the subfloor.

Thus, your new engineered wood floor can float over a concrete subfloor or an existing hard surface floor. Underlayment, padding, and a moisture barrier are laid beneath the planks if required.
