Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over a cross-ply plywood or HDF core, making it more dimensionally stable and usable over more subfloor types including concrete. Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood throughout. Both can be refinished — solid more times, engineered once to several times depending on veneer thickness.
