Engineered flooring comes in three basic types, depending upon the installation. The flooring can be floated, glued, or stapled. Depending on the home and the application, one type may be better suited than another. All of the types of engineered flooring involve a tongue and groove style assembly, where one piece locks into the next. In some cases, engineered flooring is designed to just snap together without adhesive, usually in the case of floating floors.
