I am trying to decide betwen the 2 options mentioned below:
1. 3-1/4 inch, white oak grade 1, solid hardwood nailed down, site finished
2. 5 in, white oak grade 1, wear layer 5mm unfinished engineered, site finished
Cost is the same for both. I like the look of the wider plank engineered. Just getting caught up on 2 things. a) Is it stupid to get enginnered when I can get solid wood for the same price2) Why is unfinished engineered not that popular considering the fact that it has all the advantages of soild wood (site finish, multiple times refinishing) and the advantage of being less susceptible to humidity variations
