Let Premium Performance Meet Timeless Design

Hardwood flooring looks stunning, but in Colorado’s dry, high-altitude climate, some options are better than others. If you have a humidifier, consider engineered hardwood flooring—it combines the natural beauty of real wood with layered construction. However, in most other cases, we recommend select solid core engineered wood flooring options. Tongue & Groove, as Denver’s leading wood retailer, offers a curated collection of engineered wood floors that combine durability and unmatched design possibilities.  Whether you’re working on a new build, remodeling, or replacing floors in a busy home, engineered hardwood is designed for long-term performance in any climate.

What You Need to Know About Engineered Wood Flooring

Engineered hardwood is real wood, but a few things set it apart from its solid counterpart. Instead of coming from a single piece of timber, it is made with a real wood veneer top layered over a stable multi-ply or solid core. A layered plywood core is more susceptible to contraction in the winters, which can lead to cupping, gapping or cracking. The layers sit cross-hatched to each other and the plywood is a different species than the wear layer. Because of this, each layer expands and contracts at different rates, leading to more frequent failures unless there is a humidifier to offset natural conditions.  We also offer a variety of other hardwood options to suit every style and need. Reclaimed wood adds timeless character and sustainability, unfinished hardwood allows for complete customization of stain and finish, and prefinished hardwood provides a ready-to-install solution with lasting durability. Options such as click-together floating floors and balanced solid-core constructions provide even more flexibility. Engineered and specialty woods adapt where solid hardwood may struggle, performing well in basements and excelling in wide-plank installations.

Benefits of Engineered Hardwood Floors

At Tongue & Groove, we understand the many advantages of engineered wood floors. Denver homeowners do as well. They admire their beauty, stability and versatility. Here’s why:

Design Versatility:

There many species, finishes and widths of engineered hardwood available. The real wood veneer top lets you choose how your floors will look. The majority of engineered wood flooring materials are prefinished so you can see what your floors will look like before you purchase.

Wider Planks Without the Risk:

Wide planks can make any room look bigger. However, solid wood planks are vulnerable to shifting. When you choose engineered flooring, you get the look with additional dimensional stability.

Eco-Friendly:

With this option, you can benefit from sustainably sourced and low-VOC floors that provide dimensional stability.

Specialized Options for Challenging Installs:

Not every engineered wood floor will be compatible with radiant heat, but some are. Specific products like rift & quartered, reclaimed, kiln-dried white oak, click-together engineered and solid core balanced board engineered are made for these applications.They also work for projects where the space doesn’t have a humidifier.

FAQs

Denver Engineered Hardwood Flooring FAQs

What's the difference between engineered and solid hardwood floors?

Solid hardwood comes from a single piece of timber. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer top that sits over a stable core. Engineered flooring better resists environmental changes, which is great for Colorado’s climate.

It can be, but it depends on the thickness of the top layer. Engineered hardwood flooring can usually be refinished once or twice throughout its lifespan.

Some engineered wood floors are compatible with radiant. We carry several options designed specifically for use over radiant heating systems. Let our team guide you on how to choose the right option for your project.

Many engineered hardwood installations take a few days. They also have a short acclimation period that tends to be 48-72 hours. This lets the wood adjust the room’s temperature and humidity before installation.
