Engineered Hardwood Flooring

• Usually 20mm – 21mm thick planks containing a 6mm oak wear layer hot pressed onto a cross bonded 15mm Birch Plywood base
• Plank widths are between 140mm to 300mm wide are completely super stable due to the fact that the bulk of the thickness is cross bonded plywood base.
• Engineered wood flooring only needs 24-48 hours acclimatisation period to the environment where it will be laid.
• Engineered wood floor can be Floated or Nailed or Glued down to the subfloor and laid directly onto joists
• Engineered wood we supply is always suitable for all types of Underfloor heating systems

What is engineered hardwood flooring?

Due to its ease of fitting and greater stability engineered wood floors are becoming increasingly more popular. You have the possibility of using engineered hardwood flooring in a number of different applications as it can be fitted in any of the three main laying methods. It can be fitted by floating (by gluing the tongue and groove and laying on a cushion underlay), fully bonded directly on to the sub-floor using a flexible flooring adhesive such as Bona R850, or it can be nailed and glued direct to joists as structural flooring herby eliminating the need for any flooring material underneath .

Engineered hardwood flooring uses multiple layers of hardwood (for example Birch) glued together with the grain of each layer running at right angles to the last. When wood expands and contracts over the seasons through different moisture conditions its natural reaction is to expand or contract but with engineered hardwood flooring each layer of the plank is restrained by the other thus decreasing the likelihood of seasonal gaping or over expansion.

As engineered wood floors significantly restrain the movement of the boards through moisture changes it is widely used in areas with elevated humidity variations and so will need a far less acclimatisation period.

Engineered hardwood flooring as opposed to solid wood flooring is generally the more common type of board used due to its increased resistance to moisture changes.
