Engineered wood flooring has been designed to provide better 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.
Engineered wood flooring is a kind of hardwood flooring created 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 long lasting and strong wood species.
In total three layers of sturdy genuine 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 wood gives the floor that special wooden look, which is then finished in a wide variety of coating, from oiled to smoked. Oak and Walnut are extremely strong and their usage in wood flooring helps guarantee long service life. These woods are also sourced from sustainable forests where trees are restored as opposed to exotic timbers.

Easy to install utilizing a floating technique that makes fitting fast and cost effective. The floor can be fitted in minutes on any number of sub-floors, including underfloor heating. Standard fitting techniques could also be used. There will be no visible 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 on average between three to six applications. The process of sanding will significantly prolong the usable life span of the floor.
