Engineered timber floors have become one of the most popular flooring options around the world over recent years. Each plank is made up of multiple layers but it’s the placement of the layers that make the biggest difference compared to regular wooden floor planks.
Alternating the direction of the grain on each layer between side to side or top to bottom means the plank becomes much more durable, and this minimizes the amount of swelling or shrinking can happen due to changes in temperature and humidity.
The top layer is solid wood and varies in thickness. The thicker this surface layer, the more times it can be sanded or refinished, and this helps the floor last longer due to wear – perfect for high-traffic properties. Another advantage is that engineered timber floor planks can be made in larger sizes and benefits from a range of finishes, making it more suited to your needs than other types of flooring.
Engineered boards are like solid timber planks with lots of benefits:
* They are far more stable than solid wood planks so there is far less likelihood of eventual problems and much wider boards can be produced.
* Engineered boards are usually available pre-finished which means a reduced installation time and no surprises on site.
* Unlike the vast majority of solid timber planks, engineered boards can usually be fitted over underfloor heating.
* Engineered boards make far more efficient use of slow-growing, lamella layer timbers (oak, walnut, etc).
* Engineered boards offer alternative, easier methods of installation.
