Is solid hardwood floor better or engineered wood to the value of a home?
I am considering engineered flooring of good quality, since you can get better value for exotic wood. the sample i am considering is natural dark wood, which is expensive with solid hardwood. the Aluminum oxide coating with prefinished flooring cannot be applied on site, and makes the wood more resistent.
There was a time when solid hardwoods added more value to a home, but with the birth of resandable, refinishable engineered floors (not to mention the advantages it has over solid hardwood), it is now on equal levels.
One of the advantages of engineered floors is that it resists contraction and expansion better than solid hardwood; the reason behind being the fact that engineered floors have a core made up of composite wood in layers typically constructed with a method called cross-plying to enhance the strength of the floor and fight better against warping/bowing/cupping, etc.
