Whether engineered wood or solid wood is better depends on a number of factors, including where you’re installing it, your budget, and style preference.
• Engineered wood flooring is a better choice in high-moisture and high-temperature environments than solid hardwood, often making it a better choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
• It also depends on your budget. If you don’t want to break the bank, engineered wood will be much less expensive than solid wood.
• Solid hardwood might hold a slight prestige for some people and might add more value to your home in the long-run, but improvements in the product quality of engineered wood floors has eliminated the perception that it’s the less stylish option.
