Engineered hardwood in Michigan sunroom

last year

I'm looking into putting engineered white oak on the ceiling of an insulated sunroom. My contractor was planning on using 1x6 tongue and groove cedar, but that aesthetic completely clashes with our more modern home. My biggest concern about the engineered wood on the ceiling is that we live in Michigan and in July it might be 90°, whereas in February, it might be 0°. Does anyone have experience with engineered hardwood in a non-conditioned space? Is it going to explode like the Death Star?

A product with a hardwood ply core will be stable. 7+" wide flat cut European Oak allows more figure to be shown. Including a couple levels of rustic if that fits.

The ceiling gets no wear and is not examined up close. You can use a product with a thin top layer. You can look at matte laminate like this Flooret product. Link.

Or this engineered product. Link.

Silvan has a 0.6mm hardwood wear layer.
