Check out "Really Cheap Floors. com". It is a clearing house for Shaw's end runs, a Bircher Hathaway company and most is made in the US. I love engineered flooring, and I have the tools to do traditional. The finish is harder then what you can do yourself. Look for one with a thicker top face so that it can be refinished. this is specified in their listings, and you have to look at the amount available to see if they have enough. The prices are very attractive, I paid $1.56 for a nice oak engineered I used throughout my house. I use cleats to put it down and have no issues whatsoever.
