There’s a reason hardwood flooring is common — it’s classic! Hardwood has a natural beauty to it that makes it unique from other types of flooring. This is especially true for engineered hardwood flooring, which has its own distinct look. Luckily, High Plains flooring offers a vast selection in our Pueblo West and Fountain showrooms. Browse our selection to get a clear view of what your room will look like. Engineered hardwood is the ideal choice if you’re looking for a floor that will deliver quality and style.
Engineered hardwood floors boast an unmatched sense of durability. That’s because the planks consist of five to seven layers of plywood, are topped with a real wood veneer and have a layered plywood core. The unique criss-crossed pattern helps the planks remain stable.
You might wonder what else makes engineered hardwood flooring so great? Here are some of the reasons our customers opt for engineered hardwood floors:
Engineered hardwood floors are designed to withstand damage better than traditional hardwood. Their layered construction helps protect against moisture and temperature changes, reducing the risk of expansion or contraction.
Long-Lasting Durability: Engineered hardwood floors are built for longevity. Factory-applied finishes create a strong surface that resists wear, even in high-traffic areas, keeping your floors looking great for years.
If you’re looking for the elegance of hardwood without overspending, engineered hardwood is a more budget-friendly alternative. It offers a solid structure and stunning aesthetics at a fraction of the cost of solid hardwood.
Keeping engineered hardwood floors clean is simple. Regular sweeping and vacuuming are sufficient, and the protective factory coating makes cleaning spills or messes quick and effortless.
The layered construction and strong adhesives used in engineered hardwood ensure a sturdy and long-lasting product. Unlike some other flooring options, it provides reliable performance for years without compromise.
The flooring and price is right! All that’s left to do is install your brand new floor. Something that makes engineered hardwood unique is there is more than one way to install it. Our contractors will use one of the following methods.
This popular method involves connecting engineered hardwood planks using a built-in locking mechanism. The planks "float" above the subfloor without being directly attached, making it a versatile and efficient option for many spaces.
With this technique, each plank is securely adhered to the subfloor using a strong adhesive. This process ensures a stable, durable flooring solution that can withstand years of use. For those seeking an elegant and long-lasting option, pre-finished hardwood flooring provides the perfect combination of beauty and durability, ready to install with minimal hassle.
For thicker, high-quality planks, the nail-down method is an excellent choice. This approach involves fastening the planks directly to the subfloor with nails or staples, creating a robust and secure floor installation.

Engineered hardwood flooring is made from multiple layers of wood pressed together, with a solid hardwood veneer on top. This construction provides the appearance of traditional hardwood while offering enhanced stability against moisture and temperature changes. It’s different from any regular wood floor whether you prefer oak or maple.
The installation time depends on the size of the project and the installation method (floating, glue-down, or nail-down). Most projects are completed within 1–3 days, as engineered hardwood often requires less preparation compared to solid hardwood.
Engineered hardwood is durable, resistant to moisture, and less prone to warping or shrinking than solid hardwood. It’s also more versatile, allowing installation in areas like basements or over radiant heating systems. Additionally, it provides the same beautiful look as traditional hardwood at a more affordable price point.
Maintaining engineered hardwood is simple. Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris, and use a damp mop with a wood-safe cleaner for deeper cleaning. Avoid excess water or harsh chemicals to protect the floor’s finish.
Yes, but the refinishing potential depends on the thickness of the top hardwood layer. High-quality engineered hardwood can be sanded and refinished once or twice, extending its lifespan. Always consult a professional to determine if your floor is suitable for refinishing.
While engineered hardwood offers many advantages, it may not last as long as solid hardwood due to its limited refinishing potential. Additionally, low-quality engineered options may not be as durable or visually appealing, so it’s important to invest in high-grade materials.
Engineered hardwood comes in a variety of factory-applied finishes, including matte, semi-gloss, and high-gloss. These finishes are durable and help protect the wood from scratches and stains. Some options also include UV protection to prevent fading from sunlight exposure.
Yes, engineered hardwood is typically more affordable than solid hardwood due to its layered construction. It offers excellent value for homeowners looking for the beauty of hardwood without the higher cost.
Engineered hardwood is versatile and can be installed in most areas, including living rooms, bedrooms, basements, and kitchens. Its resistance to moisture makes it a better choice than solid hardwood for areas with higher humidity levels.
With proper care and maintenance, high-quality engineered hardwood floors can last 20–30 years or more. The longevity depends on the wear layer’s thickness, the quality of the materials, and how well the floors are maintained over time.
Engineered hardwood is constructed with multiple wood layers and a hardwood veneer, making it more stable and moisture-resistant. Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood throughout, allowing for more refinishing but making it more susceptible to expansion and contraction due to humidity changes.
