Engineered wood flooring is a type of hardwood flooring made 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 sturdy 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 real wood gives the floor that distinct wooden appearance, 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 ensure long service life. These woods are also sourced from sustainable forests where trees are replenished instead of exotic woods.
Engineered wood flooring has been designed to offer greater stability and particularly where moisture or heat present problems for solid flooring. All timbers have a natural property to respond 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 utilizing 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. Conventional fitting techniques can also be used. 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 generally between three to six applications. The process of sanding will considerably prolong the usable life span of the floor.
