Engineered wood flooring explained

Unlike solid wood flooring, engineered wood is constructed using layers of lumber and wood products, strategically bonded and topped with a beautiful hardwood lamella layer. This top layer is available in a wide range of wood species, colours, and textures, providing the same natural and stunning look as solid wood floors. One of the many advantages of engineered wood flooring is its resistance to moisture, water damage, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. This makes it a fantastic choice for areas prone to these issues, such as bathrooms, basements, kitchens, and conservatories. With the ability to be sanded and refinished multiple times, depending on the thickness of the top layer, engineered wood flooring is both long-lasting and easy to maintain. Discover the growing popularity of engineered wood flooring, appreciated for its exceptional versatility, durability, and ease of installation.

With varying numbers of layers and thicknesses of the top layer, you have the freedom to choose the perfect flooring for your needs. The strength and longevity of the floor depend on the overall construction thickness, allowing for multiple sanding and refinishing sessions. A minimum top layer thickness of 2mm ensures that you experience the true essence of engineered wood flooring. Embrace the beauty of the lamella top layer, available in a wide range of wood species, just like solid wood floors. Customise and treat it to your liking with finishes, stains, and treatments. Once installed, your engineered wood flooring will seamlessly resemble solid wood, with no visible layers on the surface.

The purpose of engineered wood flooring’s layers

The purpose of the crisscrossed layers of engineered wood flooring is to make the floorboards more flexible and less prone to damages and issues caused by water, moisture, humidity, temperature fluctuations. When it comes to solid wood, moisture and dramatic temperature changes can sometimes cause major issues by making the floorboards contract and expand, which can lead to breakage, damage, cupping, damages of the finish. However, this is not expected with engineered wood flooring.
