There are several reasons for the increased popularity of Engineered. But chiefly, the recent popularity hike can be attributed to the fact that engineered flooring combines the allure of natural hardwood flooring with the durability of laminate flooring. The reason for its durability is due to the way the floor is made. Several layers of composite wood, between three to ten pieces, are pressed together under extreme pressure. Naturally, the more layers used the more durable the engineered planks will be. Another popular feature that engineered hardwood flooring has to offer is its top layer. The top layer of engineered hardwood flooring, or its veneer, is made from real wood. They have engineered flooring available for nearly every species of wood. This gives homeowners the option of having real hardwood floors installed while saving a bit of money in the process.

The popularity of engineered flooring has driven up competition. Competition usually means better products and also lowers prices. But is also means that there are tons of different brands available for purchase. It can be easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount and mistakenly ending up with a sub par product. That is why I’ve decided to take a moment to look at a high quality brand that I’ve recently come across: UA Floors’ Grecian series.

I was really impressed by UA’s Grecian floors. One of the best things about this flooring line is all of the options that are available with it. Their engineered flooring comes in a number of elegant species of wood that range from Asian Teak, Brazilian Walnut and Australian Cypress—just to name a few. The flooring is very easy to install. It features a tongue and groove and micro-bevel installation feature. These are precision milled, high quality floors that I believe would be a great fit for almost any household.
