The Benefits of Engineered Wood Flooring
Real Wood Beauty
Engineered wood features a genuine hardwood top layer, giving you the authentic grain patterns, natural color variations, and warm character that only real wood can provide—not a synthetic imitation.
Superior Stability
The multi-layered construction of engineered wood provides excellent dimensional stability, making it less susceptible to expansion and contraction with temperature and humidity changes compared to solid hardwood.
Versatile Installation
Engineered wood can be installed in areas where solid hardwood isn't recommended, including over concrete subfloors, with underfloor heating systems, and in below-grade spaces like basements.
Value for Money
Achieve the prestigious look and feel of solid hardwood at a more accessible price point. Engineered wood makes real timber flooring an attainable option for more homeowners while offering excellent longevity.
Sustainable Choice
The construction of engineered wood uses hardwood resources more efficiently than solid timber, with the core layers often made from fast-growing, sustainable wood species or recycled materials.
Refinishing Potential
Many of our premium engineered wood floors feature wear layers thick enough to be professionally sanded and refinished, allowing you to refresh your flooring's appearance over its lifetime.
Installation Options for Every Project
Engineered wood offers versatile installation methods to suit different requirements:
Floating Installation
Many of our engineered wood products feature click-lock edges that create a floating floor installed without adhesives. This method allows for easier installation and future removal if needed.
Glue-Down Application
For maximum stability and the most solid feel underfoot, engineered wood can be adhered directly to a suitable subfloor using special flexible adhesives.
Nail-Down Method
Traditional installation over wooden subfloors, providing excellent stability and the authentic feel of a traditional hardwood floor.
