Difference between Engineered Wood and Laminate Floors
| Armstrong, Dupont, Engineered Wood, Laminate, Misc, Pergo |
We are beginning to see more and more engineered wood. It is sold is many different varieties including hand scraped engineered wood. It is beautiful. It is normally more expensive than laminate floors.
Here is the difference between Laminate (Pergo, Dupont, Armstrong and other brands) and Engineered wood.
Laminate: A man made material that has the appearance of wood, but is really a plastic. The finish is like a Formica counter top, but more durable and thicker.
Engineered wood. This is a plywood type of material that has a pre-finished layer that is real wood. The finish is factory applied and is much more durable that any on-site applied finishes.
