Are you seeking a sturdy flooring solution that exudes warmth, character and style? If you’ve answered ‘yes’, then allow us to introduce to you engineered wood flooring... Read more
An extremely popular choice for many homeowners, engineered wood flooring has one decorative layer that consists of real wood and multiple layers of different materials underneath. The result is an innovative, practical, low maintenance and easy to install alternative to hardwood flooring. How so, we hear you ask? Well, the board structure and material used for this flooring is not as prone to shrinking or warping like solid wood is. This stability means they’re ideal for DIY’ers who want to install engineered wood flooring themselves.
Because less wood is used, it’s also a brilliant option if you’re on a budget, although it’s certainly not a budget option! It looks and feels like real wood due to its authentic and elegant wooden top layer. Better yet, a wide range of colours and wood types can be selected to match your interior.
The stability of engineered flooring makes it suitable for pretty much any room in the house. That said, the floor will adjust to temperature changes and humidity, and unfortunately it’s not waterproof. So, in rooms like the bathroom, we recommend using wood effect laminate flooring or luxury vinyl tiles instead, which offer better maintenance and anti-slip solutions.
So, whether you think it’s about time you upgraded the flooring in your living room or you’re renovating your first home, either way, why not consider engineered wood flooring? If you’re not quite sure whether engineered wood flooring is for you, why not check out our Engineered wood flooring buying guide.
