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.
Engineered wood floors are manufactured two ways, one, where the top surface wear layer is Sliced/Sawn cut from the log like solid wood flooring is. Engineered hardwood flooring that has a Sliced/Sawn cut wear layer shows the truer natural look of the wood and finer graining.Sliced/Sawn cut engineered flooring also allows a thicker wear layer. Engineered wood floors can also be Rotary cut, which the veneer hardwood wear layer is peeled off the log using big lathes. The best engineered floors have a Lifespan anywhere from 30 - 100 years. 2  Using an engineered wood floor allows you to have a wood floor on any grade level. 3  Engineered hardwood flooring can be used on wood subfloors or dry concrete slabs.
