Engineered Timber Flooring
Engineered timber flooring is, quite simply, hardwood flooring where the boards consist of more than one layer. The top layer is solid wood, the other layers may be plywood, softwood or more layers of hardwood. Each layer is bonded to the next with the grain running at right angles. This makes it virtually impossible for the board to swell or shrink, meaning that when it is laid it is highly unlikely to warp and gap. It looks and feels just like a traditional wooden floor and it is perfect for use as paneling or even joinery projects like doors and tabletops as well as for floors. What’s more, it offers all the benefits of a traditional wooden floor, plus a significant number of other benefits all of its own.
Most engineered hardwood flooring comes pre-finished. This means that many hundreds of different effects can be achieved through techniques like smoking, sawing, brushing and planing, as well as the use of stains and oils, and it reduces the need to use exotic, often endangered species to achieve specific effects.
