Step 01

Choose Your Wear Layer

The wear layer is the real hardwood surface on top. It affects refinishing potential, long-term durability, and price.

2mm: Good value for everyday residential rooms
3mm: Better balance of durability and budget
4mm: Premium option with more refinishing flexibility
Choose thicker wear layers for long-term homes, rentals, pets, and high-traffic areas

Step 02

Pick Width, Grade & Finish

Plank width, wood grade, and surface texture determine how the floor looks once it is installed.

6.5 inch planks: classic wide-plank look with strong value
7.5 inch planks: wider, more modern feel for open spaces
Character grade European oak shows natural knots and grain variation
Wire-brushed finishes help hide everyday scuffs and wear

Step 03

Confirm Installation & Order Right

Engineered hardwood is real wood, so subfloor type, moisture, and accurate ordering matter before installation.

Plywood subfloors are usually best for nail-down installation
Concrete subfloors may need glue-down installation and moisture testing
Measure length x width and add about 10% for cuts and waste
Check flatness, acclimation, transitions, stairs, and matching trim before you order

What is engineered hardwood flooring?

Engineered hardwood flooring is real wood flooring made with a genuine hardwood wear layer on top of a stable plywood or multi-layer core. It gives you the look and feel of hardwood, but handles humidity and temperature changes better than solid hardwood, which makes it a strong choice for Toronto and GTA homes.

Is engineered hardwood better than solid hardwood in Toronto?

For many Toronto homes and condos, engineered hardwood is the more practical choice because it is more dimensionally stable than solid hardwood. It performs better over concrete, in condos, and in homes with seasonal humidity swings. Solid hardwood can still be a great option for dry, above-grade rooms when maximum refinishing life is the priority.

How much does engineered hardwood flooring cost in Toronto?

At Top Floorings Depot, in-stock engineered hardwood flooring currently starts from $3.69 per sq ft, with premium European oak wide-plank options commonly around $4.09 to $4.39 per sq ft. Final project cost depends on the product, room size, waste allowance, subfloor preparation, trim, stairs, and installation method.

What wear layer should I choose for engineered hardwood?

The wear layer is the real hardwood surface on top. A 2mm wear layer is a good value choice for everyday residential rooms. A 3mm wear layer offers a stronger balance of durability and price. A 4mm wear layer is the premium option when you want more long-term refinishing flexibility or are choosing flooring for high-traffic areas.

Can engineered hardwood be installed over concrete?

Yes, many engineered hardwood floors can be installed over concrete, usually with a glue-down method when the product and adhesive allow it. The concrete must be flat, clean, dry, and properly moisture tested before installation. This is one reason engineered hardwood is popular for Toronto condos and slab-on-grade spaces.

Can engineered hardwood be installed in a basement?

Engineered hardwood can work in some dry, well-controlled below-grade spaces, but it is not waterproof. If the basement has moisture history, sump issues, seepage, or frequent humidity problems, SPC vinyl plank is usually the safer flooring choice. For a dry basement, ask our team to review the specific product, subfloor, and installation method before ordering.

Is engineered hardwood waterproof?

No. Engineered hardwood is more stable than solid hardwood, but it is still real wood and is not waterproof. Small spills should be wiped up quickly. For bathrooms, laundry rooms, wet basements, or rental units where water risk is high, waterproof SPC vinyl plank is usually a better fit.

Can engineered hardwood be used with radiant floor heating?

Many engineered hardwood products can be used with radiant floor heating, but you must confirm the specific product's installation instructions and temperature limits. Engineered hardwood is generally better suited to radiant heat than solid hardwood because its layered core is more stable, but the system must be controlled carefully to avoid excessive heat or sudden temperature changes.

Should I choose 6.5 inch or 7.5 inch engineered hardwood planks?

Both widths can look great. A 6.5 inch plank gives a classic wide-plank look with strong value, while a 7.5 inch plank feels more open and contemporary, especially in larger rooms and main-floor renovations. Wider planks show more wood character and can make a space feel calmer because there are fewer visible seams.

What is character grade European oak engineered hardwood?

Character grade European oak includes natural knots, grain variation, colour variation, and mineral streaks. It creates a warmer, more natural look than select-grade flooring and is very popular in Toronto and GTA renovations. If you want a cleaner, more uniform floor, ask our showroom team to compare available grades and colour lots in person.

Does engineered hardwood need to acclimate before installation?

Yes. Engineered hardwood should acclimate in the installation space according to the manufacturer's instructions, often for at least 48 hours. The room should be enclosed, climate controlled, and at normal living conditions. Acclimation helps reduce movement, gapping, cupping, or other issues after installation.

How much extra engineered hardwood should I order?

Measure the length and width of each room, multiply to get square footage, and add about 10% extra for cuts and waste. Add more if the layout has angled rooms, closets, many doorways, stairs, or a diagonal installation. Ordering enough material from the same batch helps avoid colour variation and delays during installation.
