Hand scraped wood flooring is the latest and the greatest thing, so it was inevitable that it would visit upon the world of engineered wood flooring, too.

This hand-scraped style hickory flooring from Jasper is seven layers thick, with another seven layers of wear-hard finish on top. This is a particularly good type of engineered flooring for the DIYer because it comes in a range of installation methods, whichever one suits you best: staple, nail, glue, or float.

This floor accepts radiant heating underneath, too.

To give this flooring more of a genuine look, it comes in staggered lengths, with the average length being 5 feet.
