Some engineered hardwood flooring can be refinished, depending on the thickness of the wear layer. If you’re unsure, contact our experts and we can provide you with tailored advice and solutions.
Although hardwood does come in many species of wood, some of which are harder and more dent-resistant, none of them are considered “durable”. All hardwood will scratch and ding, if durability is of great concern, vinyl plank or laminate may be a better option.
Most engineered hardwood is greatly affected by moisture. When liquid is left to stand on engineered hardwood, it can get into the cracks and cause buckling and warping. Even rooms having too high of humidity can cause issues. Common mistakes made with hardwood getting wet are things like cleaning the floor with too much liquid.
Some of the best cleaning solutions for engineered hardwood are gentle cleansers that have been specifically formulated for hardwood, as well as white vinegar mixed with lukewarm water. When mopping, ensure the mop is not completely soaked and do not let water or cleansers stand on the floor.
Engineered hardwood needs time to acclimate to the environment before installation. This balances the air with the moisture content of the wood. Acclimation time varies by wood species; however, most engineered hardwood products take at least three days to acclimate. This can be tested for prior to installation, you want to ensure the subfloor is within 3% humidity of the hardwood being installed.
Engineered hardwood flooring can last 20-30 years when maintained properly.
