Engineered Wood Flooring

Due to its construction, engineered timber flooring is extremely durable. Each plank has multiple layers, which consist of multiple cross-ply layers glued on top of each other with a top layer of real wood veneer, giving it strength and that authentic wood flooring appearance. This top layer can be made from a variety of different species, including acacia, walnut and ash, with engineered oak flooring being the most popular.

When it comes to installing engineered flooring, you have two primary options – the tongue and groove method or click installation. As the name suggests, tongue and groove flooring has a ‘tongue’ on one side of the plank and a ‘groove’ on the other, where the tongue on the next plank will slide into. With a click method, there is no need to match up a tongue and groove system or even use any glue! Instead, the floor simply clicks and locks into place to create a sturdy and durable floor that won’t shift under the pressures of daily life. You can buy engineered wood flooring from both of these fitting methods from our range found below.

Why choose engineered wood flooring?

There are a number of benefits to engineered wood flooring. Firstly, it’s incredibly durable due to the make up of the planks, meaning it can withstand the footfall associated with busy family life. This construction also means that the majority of engineered plank flooring products are suitable to be used with underfloor heating systems. Secondly, there are a number of different styles, species and finishes to choose from. Whether you’re looking for the shine of a lacquered finish, the stunning natural golden appearance of oak or wanting a traditional parquet style of flooring, there’s an option to suit everyone’s taste. Thirdly and finally, natural engineered wood flooring is typically seen as great value for money when compared to solid wood flooring as it is cheaper to manufacture, easier to maintain and lasts longer with the correct care.

Where Can You Fit Engineered Wood Flooring?

Engineered wood flooring is a brilliant choice for general living areas such as dining and living rooms, hallways, kitchens and bedrooms. We would generally advise against fitting real wood engineered flooring in areas which are likely to be exposed to high levels of moisture such as bathrooms and utility rooms.
