After months of researching between hardwood and LVP, what can go on my concrete slab, learning about wear layers, veneer layers, SPC, WPC, and visiting at least 5 different flooring stores....

I finally thought I had found the one. An engineered French oak at a local “mom & pop” - because I learned, from my research, NOT to shop at big box stores...

However the lady in the store didn’t have info on the “wear layer”.

At $7.45 a square foot, I thought it would be decent. No problem.

Emailed customer service for the floor manufacturer...

1.5mm 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
😩😩😩

Any recommendations for an engineered hardwood with enough veneer to refinish at least once or twice? Not too much variation. Subtle, classic.

We are restoring/renovating my grandparents’ house that he built 30 years ago from a 100+ year old cypress house that he tore down.
