Benefits of Engineered Hardwood Flooring in Tulsa, OK
Real hardwood surface layer with a cross-ply dimensional core. Discover why over 70% of Tulsa hardwood installations use engineered wood for concrete slabs and humidity resistance.
Engineered Hardwood in the Tulsa Area
Originally, traditional solid hardwood was the primary choice in Oklahoma. But as factory finish technology advanced and composite materials achieved structural perfection, engineered hardwood quickly took over, now accounting for over 70% of all real wood installations in the Tulsa metropolitan area.
By cross-stacking multiple layers of wood with grain directions running perpendicular to one another, engineered planks cancel out natural wood expansion. The result is a gorgeous, wide-plank floor that stays flat, tight, and gap-free even when glued directly over Tulsa concrete slab foundations.
