Many Atlanta homeowners find engineer hardwood to be the best flooring option for their homes. It is classified as engineered hardwood when it is two layers of wood that have been fused together. This is instead of the one piece of wood present in solid hardwood. In engineered hardwood, the base layer is the high-strength layer consisting of plywood or oriented strand board, and the top layer is a veneer or a thin layer of solid hardwood. This also means it can go in almost any area of the home.

One reason engineered hardwood is so attractive for homeowners in Atlanta is that it’s not as affected by temperature and moisture as solid hardwood is. Homeowners will find that it won’t warp, expand, or shrink with changes in moisture, temperature, or humidity, which is why it’s one of the more durable options. This is also a good indicator that it can go in almost any room. While we wouldn’t recommend it for an area that will be soaked, it’s an ideal flooring solution for a kitchen, bathroom, or garage.
