Debunking Common Myths

 

“Engineered wood isn’t real wood.”
False. This collection uses real white oak with a stable core that makes it more resistant to changes in humidity than solid hardwood.

“It scratches easily.”
Not true. The wire-brushed finish actually helps mask wear and minor scratches over time.

“You can’t use this in kitchens or high-traffic areas.”
You can. While it’s not waterproof, Buckingham holds up well under daily use when properly installed and maintained.
