Why engineered Contempo suits Quebec homes.
Contempo plays the width card: 7 1/2 inch planks in hickory and American oak, with textured surfaces that catch the light.
The engineered base allows these wide widths while staying stable over concrete and radiant heat.
“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 Contempo 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.
