An engineered wood floor has several benefits:- For more information on this please visit our Advantages of our Engineered Oak Flooring article
In brief the Main Benefits are:
- A very stable product that has much less movement than a solid oak floor.
- The top layer of oak, on top of the plywood, is all you can see once the floor is laid, giving the beauty that you would expect from a solid European oak floor.
- Our engineered wood floors provide a much more stable product for under floor heating systems, which have become very popular.
- Engineered floors will last and wear just as long as a solid oak wood floor. If a solid European oak floor was constantly sanded down over the years it could only be sanded down about 6 mm until you are on the tongue between the boards. Our engineered oak board has the same 5-6 mm thickness of wear.
- The 21 mm thick board is far stronger than the solid oak board, not only because of its thickness, but also because of the multi laminate plywood. Plywood is about the strongest timber material you can utilise within the flooring for this requirement.
- Engineered oak flooring is much more environmentally friendly. The plywood is made up of fast growing softwoods, which are plentiful, thus using up far less of our valued solid oak that has taken hundreds of years to grow.
- A much faster floor to lay as you are using longer and wider boards, making it more cost effective.
- Many of our clients will say that the flooring looks far better with a longer, wider board and that it does not move like a solid oak floor can.
