Engineered Wood & Solid Wood Flooring
Engineered wood flooring is a versatile and practical option for your home, without the costs or installation typically involved with solid wood flooring. Engineered wood is an affordable choice for a luxury and timeless result.
A smooth veneered top layer of solid wood is bonded to under-core base layers, to offer advanced stability and resistant properties over those of solid wood flooring. This makes engineered flooring an excellent option for areas where temperature and humidity changes often occur, such as your kitchen, conservatory or basement. Engineered timber flooring is easy to clean and can be sanded back and re-finished, just like real wood.
A solid wood floor is just as the name suggests, one piece of solid wood from top to bottom. Often finished with oil or lacquer and with tongue and groove edges. Often the floor is prefinished with a lacquer or oil before packing into boxes.
What Is Engineered Wood & Solid Wood Flooring
Our engineered wood flooring from Brit Floors blends the durability required for daily use with the organic beauty of genuine wood. It has a variety of finishes, is simple to install, and has the same realistic appearance and texture as solid wood, plus extra functionality.
Engineered Wood Flooring
An excellent substitute for conventional solid wood flooring is engineered wood. It is composed of many layers, with a core of premium plywood or HDF (high-density fibreboard) and a top layer of genuine hardwood. Engineered flooring is perfect for modern houses, particularly those with underfloor heating, because of its innovative structure, which provides outstanding stability and resilience to temperature and humidity changes.
Solid Wood Flooring
One piece of hardwood is used to create solid wood flooring. It has enduring character and is sandable and refinishable several times during its life. Since it is entirely natural, it is more likely to expand and contract in response to variations in humidity, making it unsuitable for some spaces, such as basements or rooms with underfloor heating.
While both options bring natural charm and warmth to your space, engineered wood flooring provides greater flexibility and is generally easier to maintain, especially in modern living environments.
