Kentwood Engineered Hardwood for Michigan Homes
Kentwood's British Columbia-made engineered hardwood is an excellent choice for Michigan homes. Their multi-ply construction handles Michigan's seasonal humidity swings (20–30% RH in winter, 70%+ in summer) better than solid hardwood, and their FSC-certified sourcing appeals to Michigan homeowners who prioritize environmental responsibility.
Kentwood's engineered collections can be installed in Michigan basements and over radiant heat — two applications where solid hardwood is problematic. Their glue-down installation option is particularly useful for Michigan slab-on-grade homes and additions where a floating floor would create too much movement.
Kentwood is priced in the mid-to-premium range — typically $6–$11 per square foot for the material. Their GREENGUARD Gold certification makes them a strong choice for Michigan families concerned about indoor air quality, particularly relevant during long Michigan winters when homes are tightly sealed.
