Engineered wood flooring is a type of hardwood flooring built from a three layer core of wood along 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 real wood, 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 special wooden appearance, which is then finished in a wide variety of coating, from oiled to smoked. Oak and Walnut are very sturdy and their usage in wood flooring helps ensure long service life. These woods are also sourced from sustainable forests where trees are replenished as opposed to exotic woods.
Engineered wood flooring has been developed to provide greater stability and particularly where moisture or heat present problems for solid flooring. All timbers have a natural property to react to temperature changes under some degree of hot, cold or humid environments, making the timber expand or shrink. This kind of floor will not behave in such a way.
Easy to install using a floating method that makes fitting fast and cost effective. The floor can be fitted in minutes on any variety of sub-floors, including underfloor heating. Traditional fitting methods could also be used. There will be no noticeable gaps once the floor is fitted due to the use of tongue and grooves profile with micro bevel finish.
Depending on the thickness of the top layer (1), the floor can be sanded and resanded generally between three to six applications. The process of sanding will significantly extend the usable life span of the floor.
