Q: One visitor asked, "I am considering buying engineered hardwood. My house is built on cement slab. There are several thicknesses to choose from. Is it better to go with thicker variety assuming there is sufficient clearance?"

A: I would go with the one that has the thickest hardwood veneer surface. I have installed Mirage engineered several times and it is an excellent product. All the strips are perfect and it can be sanded up to 5 times.
