The Authenticity of Real Wood

Every product in our W collection features a layer of 100% real wood, giving you authentic wood bolstered by the additional perks of multiple plywood layers. The engineered core provides each plank’s durability for a well-rounded and beautiful option.

The plywood layers are hidden by a sheet of authentic hardwood, so you’ll get the aesthetic and practical advantages of genuine wood. For example, real wood offers timeless beauty and impressive versatility with numerous color palettes and aesthetics.

It’s easy to clean and maintain, requiring no more than regular sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping to preserve its good looks, so it’s a practical choice, especially in busy homes.

What Is Engineered Hardwood?

Engineered hardwood features a blend of genuine wood and plywood layers. The combination meshes their high points, drawing from the plywood’s stability and durability while boasting the timeless aesthetics of genuine hardwood.

Unlike traditional hardwood planks, which feature a solid timber slab, engineered hardwood has multiple layers of plywood and wood veneers nestled beneath a thin layer of authentic wood. The lower layers are made of cross-grained plywood, while the upper layer, called the pinnacle or wear layer, is genuine hardwood. The finished product is highly durable and resilient to warping and expansion, making it an excellent, versatile alternative to solid hardwood.

Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability
