Renewable can be referred to as a resource that can be replenished or reformed either naturally or by systemic recycling of used resources. Renewable is resource or source of energy that is replaced naturally or controlled carefully and can therefore be used without the risk of finishing it all (Oxford dictionary).
Engineered Hardwood Floors. Engineered hardwood floors are not solid hardwood. Only the top layer is finished real wood so that you get the look and feel of a hardwood floor. The bottom layer, or core, is made up of stacked layers of fiberboard or plywood.
Here are the facts: Engineered hardwoods are made of several layers, or âpliesâ that are glued together in a cross-grain construction. This type of construction is far stronger than a single piece of solid wood; and itâs also more structurally sound â it wonât buckle, gap, cup or twist. Engineered hardwoods can be installed below grade and direct to concrete - solid wood floors cannot. The top face is crafted from the finest Northern veneers (which is just an industry term for âtop layerâ) that provide the most uniform color and the most resistance to seasonal expansion.
