What is engineered hardwood flooring?
Engineered hardwood flooring is constructed of layers
of real hardwood pressed together. The real wood surface veneer has options in an
entire range of different designs and finishes, and also in a variety of thicknesses
ranging from 0.5mm all the way up to 6mm. Typically, a veneer is 3.6mm and can be
sanded four to five times should you need to. This greatly extends the lifespan
of the flooring. The layers of real timber are manufactured to run in perpendicular
directions meaning engineered hardwood flooring is considerably more stable dimensionally
than solid wood flooring - although identical to solid wooden flooring visually.
Engineered wood flooring is ideal for areas of the house where solid wood flooring
may not be considered suitable. For example - basements, conservatories or installations
above underfloor heating systems. Typically, engineered hardwood flooring is easier
to install for the DIY'er, and has a much wider range of options to choose from
too.
