engineered hardwood Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pros & cons of Laminate hardwood floor compare to engineered one?
I've been living with carpet all my life and would love to have a hardwood floor in my new home. However due to limited budget, I could not afford the real hardwood or engineered. I had the Empire Today guy showed me the laminate option and it looks like the real hardwood. According to him it's better because I have an active little boy (6 yrs old) and more durable than hardwood. But I also heard that it could decrease the value of the house, is this true?
I agree with Catherine...If you live in a very nice house in an upscale neighborhood, get hardwood. If your house is not as nice as that, it will not decrease the value of your house to use the Pergo type flooring.
I might add that the quality of the laminate flooring should be considered. Get one that has a 25 to 30 year guarantee. They are easy to maintain, and look and function extremely well.
Is it ok to glue and nail engineered hardwood flooring?
The guy I hired says its better to glue and nail the very expensive engineered hardwood flooring I just bought. The store that I purchased it from says that you should either nail or glue and not do both. This concerns me and if any of you are installers please let me know what the disadvantage of doing it this way, the handyman I hired already installed the floors this way in two of the rooms and is working on the rest of the house soon, I want to do it the right way. Everytime I question him, he tells me he's been in this business for 25 years, and gives me this tone to not question him.
Me, the 1 st poster is absolutely right. It is the best over all way to do engineered or a pure solid 3/4" hard wood floor. Yes more expensive and time consuming but its the best overall way to install these types of woods.
Treat the man to a home made simple lunch or some coffee in the a.m. when the work is done, he sounds like a good guy.
