Precision-Engineered vs. Solid Wood
Goodwin began engineered flooring to help conserve the rare River Recovered® wood. We believe that solid wood floor will always be the ‘gold standard’ for those who can accommodate its greater demands.
| Precision-Engineered | Solid Wood |
|---|---|
| Less damage from water leaks. | Cups and buckles more easily. |
| Made with ‘water resistant’ plywood & glues | Much more difficult to glue down to concrete. |
| Looks like solid wood when finished onsite with long boards | Both solid and engineered have a micro-beveled edge if pre-finished |
| Can be sanded the same number of times as you would sand a solid wood floor. | Once you sand 3/16ths into a solid floor it begins to lose its integrity. |
| The ⅝" height of the engineered floor matches well to adjacent stone or carpet. | Usually requires a ¾" sub floor plus a ¾" thick wood floor. |
| Comes rough sanded and is easier to sand than solid. Unless pre-finished it still needs sanding, despite some marketing claims. | Often adds time to the end of the construction cycle. |
| Performs well in an environment that stays within a percent or two of the moisture content at which it was manufactured. | Will perform in most any environment if properly acclimated to the relative humidity that will exist after it is installed. |
