Enigineered wood flooring technical specifications?
Question:Can you determine the number of ply's on an engineered wood by the thickness? I can't seem to find this information anywhere.
Answers:
The number of plies is part of the specification for the brand/type. From one website:
Engineered wood is real wood, but instead of one solid piece it consists of three to 10 thin layers of wood, called plies, that are assembled and glued in a cross-ply construction. The top layer of wood can range from 1/16" to 1/6" thick. Overall board thickness ranges from 1/4" to 3/4". Due to its multi-ply structure, engineered wood is much more stable than solid wood and is less susceptible to shrinking and expanding with changes in temperatures and humidity.
I checked a few sites and found they list the number of plies for the type and brand of flooring you are looking for. I used Bruce in our house and it is 5 ply.

i dont think so the onlyt way is to go to builders yard and count the layers yourself
