Engineered Hardwood brings together the elegant look of solid wood and the reliability of a stable core that can tolerate fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The planks come in wider widths that align with modern trends and you can install them at any level of the house, including the basement. LL Flooring is home to several brands that offer engineered hardwood products of a variety of species, including acacia, oak, hickory, and more.
Colors range from white to onyx and include various shades of browns and reds in between, ready to match every type of space and personality. There are also various finishes, from distressed to smooth textures and looks, allowing for further customization to integrate with your special space.
How to Install
For wall installation, the most often used method is a combination of glue, nails, or screws, which are applied to the back of the planks in a serpentine fashion. You then drive the nails directly through the drywall into the studs, or perhaps a layer of plywood. Any substrate must be clean, dry, and flat. It's important to let the planks acclimate to the environment as you wood for flooring.
How to Care
Just as with hardwood, it's important that you maintain the environment to which your chosen product is best suited. Engineered hardwood installed on walls needs regular care to maintain its rich quality. For cleaning and scratch repair, check out the array of floor care products available at LL Flooring.
