Engineered Wood Flooring

Real Wood, Engineered for Florida

Engineered hardwood gives you the authentic look and feel of solid wood with a construction designed to handle Florida's humidity. Each plank features a genuine hardwood veneer bonded to a high-density core of plywood or HDF, creating a product that resists moisture-related expansion and contraction far better than solid hardwood alone.

At CNL Flooring, we install engineered hardwood throughout Central Florida — from Orlando condos to Clermont estates. This flooring is an excellent choice for Florida homes because it can be installed over concrete slabs (common in Florida construction), in below-grade rooms, and in areas with radiant heating systems.

The Best of Both Worlds

Engineered wood looks identical to solid hardwood because the top layer IS real hardwood. You get the warmth of oak, the richness of walnut, or the drama of hickory — with better dimensional stability. Many engineered products can even be refinished 1-2 times, extending their lifespan to 30+ years.

We carry engineered flooring in a wide range of species, widths, and finishes — from narrow traditional strips to wide-plank European oak. Our installation methods include floating, glue-down, and nail-down depending on your subfloor type and the product specifications. Every project includes thorough subfloor preparation and professional finishing.
