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 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 wood gives the floor that special wooden look, which is then finished in a wide range of coating, from oiled to smoked. Oak and Walnut are incredibly strong and their use in wood flooring helps guarantee long life span. These timbers are also sourced from sustainable forests where trees are restored rather than exotic woods.
Engineered wood flooring has been designed to offer better stability and particularly where moisture or heat pose problems for solid flooring. All timbers have a natural property to respond to temperature changes under some degree of hot, cold or humid conditions, making the wood expand or shrink. This kind of floor will not react in such a way.
Easy to install utilizing a floating technique 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 utilized. 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 prolong the functional lifespan of the floor.
