Construction projects run on tight schedules and even tighter budgets. Developers, contractors and refurbishment teams are often looking for flooring that is quick to install, reliable and looks great. Click-lock engineered wood flooring is a popular choice because it offers all of these benefits while remaining cost-effective.
The Rise of Click Lock Systems in Commercial Developments
Click lock systems are now widely used across new residential schemes, build-to-rent developments, and commercial refurbishments, thanks to their ease of installation. Modern systems allow boards to be locked together with a simple movement, which is ideal for large projects where floors need to be fitted efficiently.
For beginners and experienced installers alike, click systems remove many of the common difficulties associated with traditional tongue and groove flooring.
Installation Efficiency and Reduced Labour Costs
One of the biggest advantages of click-lock engineered flooring is its straightforward installation.
- No adhesives are required.
- No nails or complex tools are needed.
- Floors can be installed and used straight away.
This reduces installation time and minimises the number of workers needed on site. It also helps keep labour costs lower, which is especially valuable in large developments where hundreds of units may need to be completed.
Durability and Performance
Although click system floors are easier to install, they are still designed to perform to a high standard. Most boards include:
- A 3 to 4 mm hardwood top layer
- A stable multi-ply core
- Suitable construction for use with underfloor heating
These features help the boards cope with everyday wear and changes in temperature, making click-lock engineered flooring a reliable option for both busy homes and high-usage commercial settings.
Sustainability and Certification
Sustainability is now an essential consideration for many development projects. The Solid Wood Flooring Company offers click-lock engineered floors that support responsible building standards, including:
- Timber from FSC-certified sources
- Low VOC finishes that support better indoor air quality
Choosing sustainable flooring can help developments meet environmental targets and improve long-term building performance.
