For the DIYers
Kitchen floors work overtime enduring spills, stains and lots of foot traffic. Ensure yours is right for the job by choosing a material that's strong and durable — such as engineered hardwood. Seen here, engineered planks have a top veneer of real wood backed by a layer of plywood that make the planks stable and the flooring less susceptible to humidity and temperature. Because most planks come with interlocking edges, this is a great option for DIYers to install.
