Which is better hardwood or engineered?
The main advantage of engineered flooring is it can be used in a below-grade basement. Depending on the manufacturer, the finished layer on some engineered flooring s made of an extremely thin layer of real wood veneer. This thin finished layer can come unglued from the plywood core if the flooring gets wet. Both types of flooring take quite a bit of time to install. Unlike hardwood, since the finished layer of engineered flooring is so thin, it cannot be sanded down and refinished. For applications above grade, consider bamboo flooring. Bamboo is not wood - it's a grass. Since it grows far faster than traditional hardwood trees, bamboo is considered a "greener" material.
Can you glue down brazilian oak flooring?
The ability to glue down a floor is not dependent on the species of wood. Rather, it depends on the construction of the wood and the condition of the subfloor. If your wood is solid, you should nail it and not glue it, regardless of species. If it's engineered hardwood and if your surface is clear smooth then you can glue it. Bamboo is the one exception. Technically, the solid bamboo is considered solid, but it is constructed like an engineered product, so can glue solid bamboo down (you can also nail it into plywood, as well as float it). Also, you usually see in the box, the manufacturer's recommendation on how you can install, if it is a prefinished product.

What is a floating floor and how does it differ from other types of flooring installations?
A floating floor is a type of flooring installation where the individual planks or tiles are not directly attached to the subfloor. Instead, they are locked together and float over the subfloor. This differs from other types of flooring installations, such as glue-down or nail-down, where the flooring is secured directly to the subfloor. Floating floors are easier to install, can be installed over existing flooring, and are often more forgiving of imperfections in the subfloor.
