Engineered Hardwood Installation in South Elgin, IL

Engineered Hardwood Installation in South Elgin, IL

Engineered hardwood is real wood over a plywood core, and the core is what makes it dimensionally stable. That stability is why it can go over a concrete slab and below grade where solid hardwood cannot, and why it copes better with humidity swings through the year.

The specification that matters is wear layer thickness. A wear layer of 4mm or more can be sanded and refinished at least once, which gives the floor a second life. Under 3mm can never be refinished at all. Two products that look identical once installed can differ completely on this, and it changes what the floor is worth over its lifetime.

South Elgin, IL Hardwood Floor Installation fits engineered across South Elgin, IL and tests slab moisture before anything goes down.

Ask for the wear layer in millimetres. If the answer is vague, the number is probably small.
