Preferred Suppliers / National Hardwood Flooring & Moulding / Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood is built to handle what solid wood struggles with: concrete slabs, radiant heat, and the humidity swings common in Los Angeles homes. National Hardwood Flooring & Moulding stocks wide-plank engineered oak from its Van Nuys showroom, including two wire-brushed collections — French Galerie and French Villa — in the light, natural, and fumed tones currently trending in hardwood flooring.
Engineered flooring isn't a compromise — it's a different construction built for stability in conditions where solid wood struggles.
Cross-layered construction
A hardwood veneer bonded to multiple layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard resists the expansion and contraction that solid wood is prone to.
Built for humidity swings
Los Angeles homes see real seasonal humidity changes. The cross-layered structure resists warping and cupping better than solid planks in those conditions.
Works on concrete and radiant heat
Engineered flooring handles concrete-slab installations, condos, and radiant-heat systems that solid hardwood generally can’t be installed over directly.
National Hardwood stocks two distinct engineered oak lines, both wire-brushed and both available in the wide-plank formats that read well in open-concept LA homes.
Hand-scraped, wire-brushed engineered oak. 2-layer construction, 4mm top layer, pre-finished micro-beveled edges, wide planks (5/8" x 7.5" x 74.8").
This collection leads with the tones designers are specifying right now — light, natural, and fumed European oak.
Light wire-brushed engineered oak, 2mm top layer, micro-beveled on all four sides, UV lacquer matte oil finish (1/2" x 7.5" x 74.8").
The wire-brushing pulls out the grain texture, adding depth underfoot and hiding everyday wear beautifully — a strong pick for busy households and design-forward remodels.

If you're refinishing an existing solid hardwood floor instead of installing new material, our sanding & refinishing service page connects you with contractors for that instead.
