Somerset Solid Plus Engineered Flooring
Besides offering a line of solid hardwood products, Somerset Flooring offers a complimentary engineered hardwood product line. Somerset Flooring calls their engineered hardwood flooring product, "Solid Plus." According to the Somerset Website:
The installed look of Somerset SolidPlus® engineered flooring is identical to Somerset solid flooring.
One of the exciting aspects of SolidPlus® is that it is eco-sensible. When we manufacture SolidPlus®, the same block of wood that yields one piece of traditional ¾” solid flooring produces four to five 3mm wear layers (surface layer) for SolidPlus® flooring.
The lifespan of engineered flooring is the same as solid flooring. Our SolidPlus® 50-year Wear Warranty Protection is identical to our solid flooring warranty.
Engineered flooring is more dimensionally stable than solid wood flooring.
If ever needed, SolidPlus® engineered floors with their 3mm wear layer can be sanded and refinished.
SolidPlus® engineered flooring can be installed on any grade level.
SolidPlus® engineered flooring is more resistant to moisture than solid hardwood flooring.- Somerset Flooring Website
