About Engineered Wood Floors
Engineered wood floors are manufactured using a top layer of real hardwood with a layered base made up from either 3 or 5 layers. The base can comprise of plywood, softwood, or even an HDF board, and the top veneer of hardwood typically ranging from between 3-4mm in thickness.
Engineered wood floors provide all the beauty and charm of a solid wood floor with excellent dimensional stability and versatility. Because the top layer of hardwood is attached to a layered ply base, this eliminates the expansion and contraction that a solid wood floor is prone to.
Many consumers choose engineered wood floors over solid wood floors because it is very versatile when it comes to installation. Not only is it suitable to stick down using an elastic adhesive, you can also float the floor down onto a wood flooring underlay, and engineered wood floors are ideal to use in conjunction with under floor heating.
Engineered wood floors are also a very popular choice with the DIY customer, as the easy click-fit system makes installing the floor incredibly simple.
Engineered wood floors are available in a huge range of different species, finishes, and widths. Engineered 3 strip flooring, offers real wood floorssolid wood floor once installed.
Engineered wood floors come in a variety of widths, but most planks are either 148mm or 189mm wide, and in total engineered wood floors tend to be 14/15mm thick. Oiled and lacquered finishes are the most popular, but distressing, handscraping, wire brushing and staining are all available options when purchasing an engineered wood floor.
