The top-layer or lamella is the wood that is visible when the flooring is installed and is adhered to the core. The inherent stability of engineered wood flooring is achieved by running each layer at a 90? angle to the layer above. This stability makes it a universal product that can be installed over all types of subfloors above, below or on grade.
