Engineered Flooring

Engineered Flooring

Engineered Hardwood Flooring is a product made up of a core
of hardwood, plywood or HDF and a top layer of hardwood veneer that is glued on the top surface of the core and is available in almost any hardwood species. The product has the natural characteristics of the selected wood species as opposed to a photographic layer. The “engineered” product has been designed to provide greater stability, particularly where moisture or heat pose problems for solid hardwood floors. In addition to the top hardwood veneer, engineered wood flooring typically has three ormore core layers. Of course, there is greater stability with more layers. The core layers may beplywood, high-density fibreboard, or hardwood. The hardwood veneer, or top layer of hardwood, can typically be 0.6mm to 4.5mm or more in thickness. A quality hardwood veneer will provide many years of wear. Most engineered wood floors are floating and each plank is simply glued together via a tongue and grooved system or has a locking click system, therefore it is not fastened to the sub-floor, making the product very easy to install
