Engineered wood flooring is made from several layers of wood pressed together in a cross-ply arrangement. The hard wood layer represents the wear layer. The aesthetic qualities of engineered wood flooring compare very favorably with those of solid wood flooring. Once installed, it is impossible to distinguish between a solid wood floor made and one made from engineered wood.
The main advantage of engineered wood flooring is its dimensional stability: the cross-ply construction means the wood is largely unaffected by swelling and does not warp significantly. A further and by no means insignificant advantage is the lower supply cost. "Engineered" is a term used to refer to the wood flooring's composition. "Floating" refers to the installation method. It can also be installed glued down.
