What are the advantages and disadvantages between engineered wood flooring versus the alternative?
According to my research the difference between engineered wood and laying hard wood down is the difficulty. Laying down hard wood is harder than engineered wood.
What are manufactured boards used for?
wood that was engineered from wood waste
Difference between engineering and Non engineering products?
Engineered products are products designed to meet a particular design criteria. Non-engineered products are products that were not specifically engineered for a particular design criteria. The structural wood products industry is a good example of engnieered and non-engineered products. Lumber and heavy timbers are good examples of non-engineered materials that are used in construction. Specifically, lumber or timber is a product that is cut from logs. Lumber is not designed, although we test lumber and have design values that apply to many types of lumber. There exists natural variation in lumber so the way we come up with reasonable design values is test a reasonable size sample of lumber, determine the statistical variation of the test results, then assign a conservative material value to allow it to be used structurally. In contrast, plywood, OSB, I-joists, laminated veneered lumber, parallel strand lumber and glulam are engineered wood products. Those products were designed to be used in certain structural applications. The design of the products was thought out, typically combining a mixture of different smaller layers or materials, combined with structural connectors, typically adhesives, or small nails or screws. These products often use the best properties of the individual products to come up with a better mix. These products often have a higher strength to weight ratio when compared with non-engineered products. Other engineered products include rolled steel shapes, bar-joists, metal decking, reinforced concrete, plastics, composites and fibers. I hope this has been helpful.
Can you lay an engineered wood floor over an existing engineered wood floor laying in the same direction?
of corse you can! it's not common practice but if your floor is sound it should be fine
What is the best thickness for engineered wood flooring?

What is engineered wood?
Engineered wood, also called composite wood, "man made wood" or "manufactured wood", includes a range of derivative wood products which are manufactured by binding together the strands, particles, fibers, or veneers of wood, together with adhesives, to form composite materials. These products are engineered to precise design specifications which are tested to meet national or international standards. Typically, engineered wood products are made from the same hardwoods and softwoods used to manufacture lumber. Sawmill scraps and other wood waste can be used for engineered wood composed of wood particles or fibers, but whole logs are usually used for veneers, such as plywood. Alternatively, it is also possible to manufacture similar engineered cellulosic products from other lignin-containing materials such as rye straw, wheat straw, rice straw, hemp stalks, kenaf stalks, or sugar cane residue, in which case they contain no actual wood but rather vegetable fibers.

When did engineered wood products become more popular?
Traditionally, mills in this industry cut joists, beams, and other structural members from large logs, but during the 1990s and 2000s, engineered wood products became increasingly popular.
What is deamination?
Delamination is when engineered wood products like plywood fail, and the veneers separate.
How is flat-pack furniture environmentally friendly or good for the environment?
Much flat-pack furniture is made from particle board, a manufactured product made from wood particles and resin. As with all wood products, the environment-friendly nature comes from the origin of the wood. If the wood is waste products from sustainable forestry then it may be somewhat environmentally friendly.
What are the advantages and disadvantages between engineered wood flooring versus the alternative?
According to my research the difference between engineered wood and laying hard wood down is the difficulty. Laying down hard wood is harder than engineered wood.
Is it safe and environmentally friendly to have a gas outdoor fireplace?
It is as safe as having an indoor gas fireplace. Some people would consider it much more environmentally friendly since your are not sending smoke into the air like you would if you were burning wood.
What materials besides wood are used increasingly in residential construction?
engineered wood products, concrete, structural foam sandwich panels, and laminated fiberboard structural sheathing.
What are manufactured boards used for?
wood that was engineered from wood waste
What is the biggest threat to engineered wood?
Fire.
What man made wood are called?
Man made wood are called engineered wood or composite wood,
