It is a common belief that engineered wood is more dimensionally stable than solid wood flooring. In areas where the standard humidity is from 35-55%, this could be applicable- after all, it is the range where most of the engineered wood flooring manufacturers warrant their products.

But, if you live outside that range in a dry climate such as Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, or Northern Texas where the humidity levels are lower than the warranty value, there’s a different reality.

To understand this further, we must dive deeper. We’ll go into the overall properties of wood, the species, where it is harvested, the forms of cutting, how it is dried, the manufacturing process and in which climate the manufacturing takes place, regardless of it being engineered or solid.
