How durable is engineered wood flooring?

Engineered wood flooring is highly durable, making it a great choice for busy households. Its layered construction, with a hardwood veneer on top and a stable core of plywood or fibreboard beneath, resists warping and shrinking due to temperature or humidity changes. This makes it more stable than solid wood in areas like kitchens or basements. The top layer's thickness plays a role in durability, with thicker veneers offering better wear resistance and the option for refinishing. With proper care, engineered wood can last 20 to 50 years.
