Engineered Hardwood Flooring.

Engineered hardwood is genuine wood: a solid hardwood wear layer bonded over a cross-ply or high-density core that stays put where solid wood would move.

Where it shines

Because it is dimensionally stable, engineered hardwood can go above, on, or below grade — including over concrete slab and radiant heat. It installs nail-down, glue-down, or floating, making it the right answer for most LA-area homes, coastal properties, and slab condos.

Engineered vs. solid

On a slab, with radiant heat, or in a humid coastal home, engineered is the smarter pick. For a floor you can refinish many times over decades above grade, compare solid hardwood.
