A solid hardwood floor has more movement then an engineered hardwood floor. It will expand and contract more, responding to changes in temperature and humidity. Because of this, only engineered wood is recommended for below grade installations. Doug Robinson, of Certified Carpet Distributors, Inc. (distributors of carpet, hardwood, ceramic, and vinyl flooring materials) explains how engineered wood, especially that with a dry saw face, has the beauty of natural would but is more stable. It can be recoated endless times, and refinished at least one if a color change is desired. Engineered wood with a greater number of layers is better -- form instance 7-ply engineered wood is better than 3 ply.

Jul 10, 2011 - very good.How ever what he failed to mention is if a leak or flood happens which they do the engineered floor will delaminate if not got in time.Solid wood will buckle but a lot of the time will settle back down if customer is patient enough to let it dry out .It may need a good sanding and refinishing which is ok cause its SOLID WOOD
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)
