It’s ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas. It’s not recommended for moisture‑prone spaces like bathrooms or basements.

Engineered Hardwood FAQs

What is engineered hardwood flooring?

Where can it be installed?

Most rooms, including basements and over concrete or radiant heat, depending on the product.

How do I maintain it?

Sweep regularly, clean with hardwood‑safe products, wipe spills quickly, and use felt pads under furniture.
