Engineered wood flooring is now accepted as the preferred option for wood floors. There are numerous reasons for this but the main ones are listed below:
Stability: will not twist, warp and cup like solid wood or leave gaps in winter when the central heating is on and then expand (even pushing walls out) during a humid summer.
Quick and Easy installation: there is normally no need to acclimatise engineered flooring unlike solid wood unless you have underfloor heating
Sustainability: we can manufacture between 3 to 4 times more wood flooring from the same tree and use faster growing trees for the plywood like birch and eucalyptus. On our wider wood floors we use the cut waste to finger joint a middle layer and a back layer to create a stable very wide (340mm) engineered oak floor using 100% oak
