Engineered hardwood gives you a real wood surface on a layered plywood core that resists the seasonal movement Calgary's dry winters cause in solid wood. It is the right choice for basements, condos and anywhere over concrete.
Engineered floors are made of layers of plywood and solid top that can be refinished in the future (We only install high quality materials that can be refinished). That make this kind of flooring more forgiving of changes in humidity and more stable than solid hardwood floors.
Engineered floors, can be sanded and refinished; there are whole range variety of species, grades, and finishes. The big advantage of engineered flooring is that wider planks than solid hardwood.
The installation methods are stapled down, floating, or glued down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can engineered hardwood be installed in a basement?
Yes. Engineered hardwood is dimensionally stable and can be glued or floated over a concrete slab with a proper moisture barrier, which makes it the preferred wood floor for Calgary basements.
Can engineered hardwood be sanded and refinished?
Quality engineered floors with a thick wear layer can be sanded and refinished, usually once or twice. We only install products with a wear layer thick enough to allow it.
What installation methods do you use for engineered hardwood?
Stapled down over a wood subfloor, floated over an underlay, or glued down over concrete. We recommend the method based on your subfloor and the product you choose.
What widths, species and finishes come in engineered hardwood?
Engineered hardwood is available in a whole range of species, grades and finishes. One of its big advantages is that it comes in wider planks than solid hardwood, because the plywood core keeps the wide boards stable.
