Comparison of solid wood with engineered wood
Comparing solid wood flooring to engineered wood flooring is challenging due to the broad variety of quality in both product categories, and each type has its own set of constraints. Solid hardwood is more prone to "gapping" (excessive space between planks), "crowning" (convex curving upwards as humidity rises), and "cupping" (a concave or "dished" appearance of the plank, with the height of the plank along its longer edges being higher than the center) with increased plank size. Patented designed wood installation solutions may make board replacement and installation faster and easier.
Engineered wood also allows for a floating installation, where the planks are fastened to each other instead of the substrate. In contrast to solid wood, engineered flooring can be used with both underfloor and radiant heating systems.
Both categories share a number of characteristics: Solid wood is normally site-finished, comes in board shape, is thicker than engineered wood, and must be installed with nails. With a few exceptions, engineered wood is often pre-finished and installed with staples or floating.
