Engineered floors give the beauty of hard wood floors without the high cost. Like laminate floors, engineered floors can be installed as a do-it-yourself project. They can be nailed, glued, or stapled down. Some have tongue and groove constructions that click into place on top of an underlayment without the use of glue or nails.

An engineered floor can be installed on wood or concrete substrates. In some cases, it can be installed over existing flooring. Most types of engineered hardwood floors can even be installed on radiant heat systems. Once installed, an engineered floor can serve as a floating floor. Unlike hard wood floors, an engineered hardwood floor withstands moisture, making it suitable for bathrooms and basements.

For an average-sized room, installing an engineered floor can be done in a day. On the other hand, the installation of hard wood floors requires a professional. If you have questions about installation, ask us here at Floor and Décor or check the blogs from our do-it-yourself divas online at flooranddecoroutlets.com.

Before installing an engineered floor, it's critical that you properly prepare the sub floor. For everything you need to do the job yourself and get a beautiful outcome, look to your Floor and Décor. Our stores carry underlayments, adhesives, nailers, and installation kits. To prepare your engineered floor for installation on concrete, see us for concrete cleaners.

Engineered wood floors come pre-finished; they're sealed and sanded, ready to install and use immediately. If an engineered hardwood floor becomes scratched or dented, it can be sanded; however, it’s recommended that you consult a professional before sanding it yourself.

One of the beauties of an engineered hardwood floor is that maintenance is easy. For cleaning and maintenance products, visit our website at flooranddecoroutlets.com.
