Why engineered Atmosphère suits Quebec homes.
Atmosphère brings together five North American species on an engineered core, from 5 inch boards up to wide 8 1/8 inch planks. It is Mercier’s most versatile collection.
The engineered build stays stable over concrete slabs and radiant heat, where solid wood is not advised.
“Engineered hardwood gives you real wood with the stability our climate demands,” says Sefi Dollinger, Owner of Planchers Bellefeuille, serving Quebec homeowners since 1983.
What it takes for an engineered floor to last in Quebec.
Engineered Atmosphère can be installed several ways: glued to a concrete slab, stapled to a wood subfloor, or floated with underlay. Unlike solid wood, it accepts concrete and low-temperature radiant heat. Always leave an expansion gap around the perimeter.
Target indoor humidity: 40-60%. Engineered wood tolerates swings better than solid, but a stable level keeps the joints tight all year.
