Engineered Hardwood Technology:
Richly crafted for improved performance. Engineered Hardwood flooring is genuine hardwood and the word “engineered” just means that it is made a particular way. There are several advantages to picking engineered over a solid product. Woodwudy Wholesale Flooring has more information on this product.
Here are the facts:
- Engineered hardwoods are composed of many layers, or “plies” that are glued together in a cross-grain design. This type of build is more durable than an individual piece of solid wood and its more structurally sound so that it won’t buckle, gap, cup, or twist.
- They can be put down below grade and direct to concrete whereas solid hardwood cannot.
- From an environmental responsibility standpoint:
- Using Northern veneers for the top layer of their engineered hardwood allows for the most beautiful colors and resistance to the different seasons of expansion and contraction.
From an environmental responsibility standpoint:
- Only half as many trees are used than with solid floors
- Quicker growing, renewable wood is utilized for inner plies
- Mannington facilities recycle its mill waste for energy
- Their products contain no VOCs as it uses only water-based finishes
Mannington uses a formaldehyde free glue that is as good as or better and meets the highest indoor air quality standards.
