Elegant Engineered Longstrip Flooring from Michael's Floor Covering in Fort Wayne, IN

Introduction

If you’re looking for a flooring option that offers timeless beauty, impressive durability, and flexibility for different areas of your home, Engineered Longstrip Flooring is worth your attention. Its wide-plank design and layered construction give homeowners the style of hardwood with added stability—perfect for everyday living and family-friendly spaces.

What Is Engineered Longstrip Flooring?

Engineered Longstrip Flooring is crafted by bonding multiple layers of wood together, topped with a genuine hardwood veneer. This method makes it more resistant to changes in humidity and temperature compared to solid hardwood. The “longstrip” format gives each plank a broad, continuous appearance—often resembling three side-by-side wood strips—adding depth and elegance to your floors.
You can choose from a wide range of wood species, colors, textures, and finishes, from warm honey oak to rich espresso walnut, with surface options ranging from smooth and refined to hand-scraped for rustic charm. Underfoot, it feels solid yet comfortable, with the natural warmth only real wood can provide.

Top Features & Benefits

• Durability – Engineered with cross-ply layers, Engineered Longstrip Flooring resists warping, cupping, and gapping, making it ideal for active households.
  Side note: Like most hardwoods, it can still scratch if heavy furniture is dragged across it.
• Style Versatility – Works beautifully with a range of design styles, from modern minimalism to cozy traditional.
• Easy Maintenance – Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping keep your floors looking their best.
  Side note: Avoid excessive water to protect the wood veneer.
• Budget-Friendliness – Provides the upscale look of hardwood without the higher price tag of solid planks.
• Installation Advantages – Can be installed over concrete, in basements, or on top of existing floors, using nail-down, glue-down, or floating methods.
• Eco-Friendliness – Uses less slow-growth hardwood than solid flooring, making it a more resource-efficient choice.
