Is engineered hardwood the same as laminate?

No. Engineered hardwood uses a real wood surface over a constructed core. Laminate uses a printed visual and protective surface over a composite core.

Can engineered hardwood be installed over concrete?

Some engineered products support approved glue down or floating methods over suitable concrete. Moisture, adhesive, flatness, and manufacturer instructions must be confirmed.

Can LVP be refinished?

No. LVP is maintained, repaired, or replaced according to the product system. It is not sanded and refinished like a suitable wood wear surface.
