Engineered flooring is composed of two to five thin wooden narrow pieces glued to each other to form a parquet strip. The top layer, cut from hardwood, produces a look that’s comparable to solid wood parquet strips. Numerous species are available, even exotic woods, and this for a fraction of the price.

Under the effects of humidity, this type of flooring expands along its width. To counter this problem, manufacturers place the pieces in a cross-grain pattern. This method produces a more stable mass that can be installed in the basement and even in direct contact with the cement sub-floor. Engineered parquet can be nailed, glued, stapled or floating.

    I have heard of the engineered wood being glued directly to the floor. If you can get the tile up this is recommended, but can be done with the tile down.
    Let us know what you do and how it works out.
