Engineered hardwood done right

Engineered hardwood is real wood on top of a dimensionally stable plywood core. It looks identical to solid hardwood underfoot but won't cup, gap, or buckle when our humid Carolina summers give way to a dry, ice-storm winter. That makes it the right pick for basements, slab-on-grade homes, kitchens, and rooms with radiant heating - which describes a lot of the homes we work in around Monroe and the rest of the Charlotte Metro Area.

Floor Decor & More stocks engineered hardwood from Lauzon, Mirage, Mercier, Kahrs, Coswick, Shaw, and Armstrong - the same brands designers specify on luxury builds.

Why homeowners choose engineered

Engineered hardwood gives you most of the benefits of solid wood with none of the sensitivity to our region's swings in humidity.

  • Stable on concrete slabs and over radiant heat, even through a hot Piedmont summer
  • Available in wider planks (up to 9") that solid wood can't deliver
  • Pre-finished from the factory with aluminum-oxide topcoats
  • Floating, glue-down, or nail-down installation - whatever your subfloor needs
  • Refinishable once or twice depending on wear-layer thickness
Why homeowners choose engineered

Species, widths, and finishes

Most engineered hardwood is made from European or American oak, but you can also get maple, walnut, hickory, and exotic species. Plank widths run from a classic 3" up to designer 9"-wide boards. Finishes range from clear matte to wire-brushed, hand-scraped, fumed, and reactive-stained European looks - if you'd rather see the full water-resistant range, our luxury vinyl plank page covers a similar look with total waterproofing.

Professional installation

Our installers assess your subfloor first - moisture testing on concrete, joist inspection on plywood, flatness gauges everywhere - and coordinate any demolition and leveling the old floor needs before day one. We then recommend floating, glue-down, or nail-down based on what will perform best. Every quote includes baseboard removal/reinstall, transitions to adjacent rooms, and full disposal of your existing floor. See the rest of what we offer on our services page.

Answers
  • Yes - if the wear layer is 3mm or thicker, it can be sanded and refinished once or twice. Thinner wear layers (1-2mm) should be screened and recoated rather than fully sanded.

  • Water-resistant, not waterproof. It tolerates the occasional spill far better than solid wood, but standing water from a dishwasher leak or burst pipe should still be cleaned up promptly.

  • Yes - this is one of engineered hardwood's biggest advantages, and it holds up well through our mild Piedmont winters. We follow manufacturer guidelines on subfloor temperature and acclimation to prevent gapping.

  • Floating is faster and easier to repair. Glue-down feels more solid underfoot and is quieter. Over concrete we typically recommend glue-down; over plywood, either works.
