Engineered wood flooring is a kind of hardwood flooring built from a three layer core of wood together with plywood and a top layer of hardwood veneer. The core of the floor comes from Oak and Walnut, which are considered the most durable and strong wood species.
In total three layers of strong genuine timber, either Oak or Walnut (layer 1) are glued together with Plywood (layer 2) and hardwood veneer (layer 3). The resulting floor is called engineered wood flooring. The very top layer of genuine timber gives the floor that unique wooden look, which is then finished in a wide range of coating, from oiled to smoked. Oak and Walnut are incredibly sturdy and their usage in wood flooring helps ensure a long life span. These woods are also sourced from sustainable forests where trees are restored as opposed to exotic timbers.
Engineered wood flooring has been developed to offer greater stability and especially where moisture or heat pose problems for solid flooring. All woods have a natural property to react to temperature changes under some degree of hot, cold or humid environments, making the wood expand or shrink. This type of floor will not react in such a way.
Easy to install utilizing a floating technique that makes fitting quick and cost effective. The floor can be fitted in minutes on any variety of sub-floors, including underfloor heating. Standard fitting techniques can also be utilized. There will be no visible gaps once the floor is fitted due to using tongue and grooves profile with micro bevel finish.
Depending on the thickness of the top layer (1), the floor can be sanded and resanded on average between three to six applications. The process of sanding will considerably prolong the functional lifespan of the floor.
