Hello everyone! I've been debating whether to install engineered wood or go for traditional solid planks in my loft. A friend told me engineered boards can handle moisture better, which sounds great. But I'm used to the idea that “real” solid wood is the gold standard for longevity. I’d love to hear from anyone who has firsthand experience with either option!

Good day to all! I just came across this discussion, and it's fascinating how flooring technology has evolved. My grandparents always insisted on solid wood, but modern solutions seem more versatile. It’s nice to see people weighing practical benefits against the allure of a classic plank. I'm no expert, but it's cool to read real-life experiences before I plan any home upgrades.
Hi there, I had the exact same question before redoing my basement flooring. Engineered wood was surprisingly sturdy and less prone to warping, which sold me on it. If you’re curious about durability, you might want to look at flooring in Edinburgh for detailed comparisons of both materials. I went with engineered oak and haven't had issues with humidity at all!
