What Is Engineered Wood Flooring?

Engineered Wood flooring is a real wood flooring that is made of layers of wood glued together, with a surface layer or top surface of real hardwood veneer. These layers provide a stable engineered wood flooring resistant to heat and moisture.

The top layer is solid hardwood so engineered wood flooring offers the same genuine wood flooring appearance, texture and benefits of a real wood floor.

Benefits of Engineered Wood Flooring

Modern houses and commercial interiors can greatly benefit from engineered wood flooring as it provides the following benefits:

  • Real hardwood surface
  • Improved dimensional stability
  • Suitable for underfloor heating
  • More resistant to humidity changes
  • Available in herringbone and plank styles
  • Can often be sanded and refinished
  • Long-lasting premium appearance
  • Suitable for modern and traditional interiors

Engineered wood is one of the most popular flooring materials within the UK due to its extreme durability and classic appeal.

 

Engineered Wood Flooring vs Solid Wood Flooring

Unlike engineered flooring, solid wood flooring also utilises a solid piece of timber for the surface. It is composed however of multiple layers which are laid upon each other to ensure a sturdy finish.

As humidity levels and temperatures change, solid wood can begin to expand and contract. Engineered wood flooring is manufactured to minimise this effect ensuring a long life as the need for maintenance will not be as great, and it also is very compatible for use with under floor heating and in modern large living spaces.

 

Oak Engineered Wood Flooring

Oak engineered wood flooring is currently the most in demand flooring in the UK as it is classic, hard wearing and versatile.

While the natural tones of oak compliment any interior (traditional or contemporary), the smoked, brushed and grey oak options provide a more modern edge.

Oak engineered wood is ideal for living rooms, hallways, dining rooms, bedrooms and a multitude of open-plan areas.

 

Herringbone Engineered Wood Flooring

Herringbone engineered wood flooring offer both a luxurious finish associated with parquet flooring as well as the benefits of engineered wood construction. The ‘zigzag’ or herringbone pattern provides dimension and character; and for this reason, is often seen in luxurious interior designs.

Herringbone engineered wood flooring can be finished in various oak finishes such as natural oak, smoked oak, brushed oak and grey wood styles.

 

Engineered Wood Flooring and Underfloor Heating

Since the multi-layer structure of most engineered wood flooring is very stable, engineered wood flooring is often compatible with underfloor heating.

Generally, engineered flooring will cope better with fluctuating floor temperatures and moisture conditions than solid hardwood flooring. Always refer to the individual product’s specifications when installing to ensure it is compatible with your heating system.

 

Engineered Wood Flooring Installation

Several different ways can be used when fitting engineered wood flooring including floating installation, gluing down or the tongue and groove method. Lots of modern engineered wood floors will come with the click fit system built into them to allow for easy installation with a snug fit.

Clean, dry and level flooring is essential before fitting engineered wood flooring to allow for the neatest finish and longest life of the flooring.
