When it comes to flooring materials, a lot of people will tell you that a hardwood floor is among one of the most beautiful options you could choose. It is also made from a renewable resource so it is good for the environment, but the problem is that it is usually in a price-class that makes it difficult to obtain for many homeowners. It is also a type of flooring that is slightly tricky to install, since you are limited to installing it using nails or staples.

There is an option that will give you the look of a hardwood floor without the high price tag and with a lot of different options for installation that might interest you. It is called engineered flooring.

Engineered flooring is created by using just a thin layer of hardwood that is glued on top of a plywood board. It’s a simple solution that gives you a look that is indistinguishable from the real thing but at a much lower cost. Engineered flooring can be installed using many different methods, making it a lot more flexible as well.

The only major downside with engineered flooring is that deep scratches could go all the way down to the plywood board and prove difficult to repair.
