Engineered hardwood is the best hardwood flooring for most settings. The beauty of authentic hardwood layered with the stability of engineered wood offers the perfect combination for gorgeous, durable floors with a multitude of performance benefits.

Hardwood looks are the most sought-after flooring visuals for interiors, a thriving trend that shows no sign of slowing down. Engineered hardwood is the only flooring that gives you premium hardwood authenticity, with superior performance due to its layered construction.

Authentic Hardwood
The visible layer of engineered hardwood is real hardwood, so each plank is truly unique, imbued by nature with its own character, grain patterns, knots, and color variations. No plank looks exactly the same as another, resulting in a one-of-a-kind floor.

An endless array of designs comes in different wood species like oak, white oak, hickory, maple, birch, and walnut, each with distinct character. Some species are inherently more uniform in color and pattern, while others naturally offer greater contrast from plank to plank or even within a single plank.

Stains and other treatments enhance the hardwood’s colorways, which range from bleached to charcoal looks and warm to cool tones, so you can easily find just the right look for any decor.

Durable Engineered Construction
Between the hardwood layer and the backing, a stable wood core minimizes wood’s tendency to expand and contract, giving engineered hardwood additional strength and durability. This dimensional stability helps keep your floors looking their best, even in basements or humid climates where traditional wood flooring could fail.

This same layered construction also allows for longer, wider planks — another longstanding trend in interior design. Solid hardwood, without a stabilizing core, tends to warp in these larger dimensions.

Protective Layers
Left unprotected, hardwood is susceptible to scuffs, scratches, and dents. To make sure your new floor looks its best longer, look for an engineered wood flooring with a urethane finish.

Mohawk’s TecWood®, for example, is protected with TruFinish®, a tough urethane layer with the ultra-matte look of a true oil finish that helps bring out the wood’s natural beauty.

Engineered Hardwood Maintenance
Engineered Hardwood can be fairly easy to clean and maintain. Rugs or mats at entrances will minimize tracked-in dirt and grime, and regular sweeping or vacuuming will help prevent wear and tear.
