Engineered wood flooring in a Baker, LA home

Choosing between engineered hardwood & carpet?


If you are caught between selecting engineered hardwood and carpet flooring, you're not alone. In today's post, we will compare the two so you can select the product that meets your specific needs, so read along for more information.

Hardwood flooring or carpet?

While carpet is the only soft surface floor covering and incredibly plush underfoot, engineered wood flooring provides many benefits that could be everything you want and need from a floor covering. For instance, if you have pets or children, wood floors can be a better choice, simply because they are durable, have an excellent lifespan that can exceed 30 years or more, and can be refinished to bring it back to a like-new experience.

Engineered wood can be used as an outstanding alternative to solid wood in below-grade spaces, as it handles the environment far better. If you have a space like this where you would like to add engineered products, our associates can tell you exactly what to expect.

These materials also offer a wealth of stunning visual options, including your choice of species, stain color, finish, and more, helping you match your décor with great ease. When you’re ready to install these products, you’ll need to have them acclimated, which can last from one to three days.
