Why Are Homeowners Choosing Engineered Hardwood Flooring These Days?

If you were to visit 100 Baton Rouge homes that have had new flooring installed during the last year, you would find that many of them have selected engineered hardwood flooring. You may ask why they would do this. The answers are many, but all of them revolve around the fact that engineered wood flooring offers a great many benefits that may be hard to find in other types of flooring systems, especially for those who live in this storm-prone areas of Louisiana. At Wholesale Flooring & Granite, we would like to share a few things about engineered wood flooring that you may not know.
Today's engineered hardwood flooring brings elegance and warmth into any home or business, just as solid wood flooring can do. But, in both cases, moisture (even high humidity levels) is the enemy of wood flooring. Solid wood flooring cannot resist moisture as well as engineered wood. This is why solid wood cannot be installed below grade, but engineered wood flooring can be. Those who want wood flooring in their basements should always go with engineered hardwood flooring over solid wood flooring if they want to avoid very costly problems in the future.

Another benefit that homeowners get with engineered hardwood flooring is huge variety of wood species to choose from. We carry over 290 different engineered flooring systems, and we offer you one of the best selections of wood species in all of Baton Rouge. From American Cherry to Vintage Maple, we have it all. We have wood flooring in all color tone ranges, and we have wood flooring in a variety of plank widths, including the popular wide plank flooring that designers are all abuzz about these days.
