3-ply engineered flooring is a popular alternative to solid wood flooring that has numerous advantages, including durability and stability. As the name implies, the flooring is constructed from three layers - a solid base layer, typically a softer wood for the middle, and a solid wood veneer, the visible layer, at the top. Together, the three layers help provide a very strong and durable flooring solution, comprised entirely of real wood.

As well as generally being cheaper, one of the main advantages of 3-ply over a solid wood flooring is that the end product is extremely stable and durable. This makes them perfect for areas where conditions such as heat and humidity can change rapidly - for example, kitchens, bathrooms, and areas with underfloor heating, where other woods can be distorted by changes in moisture and heat.
