Wood Flooring

Engineered Hardwood boasts the natural characteristics of the selected wood species as opposed to a photographic layer. It is a product made up of a core of hardwood, plywood or HDF and a top layer of hardwood veneer that is glued on the top surface of the core and is available in almost any hardwood species.

In addition to the top hardwood veneer, engineered wood flooring typically has three or more core layers. Of course, there is greater stability with more layers. The core layers may be plywood, high-density fiberboard, or hardwood.

Natural wood flooring matures with age and can be easily maintained. Stripping, sanding and re-lacquering can restore floorboards, but often a rub down and a coat of varnish can bring the glow back.

Laminate flooring is made up of several materials bonded together under high pressure. It is versatile, durable, attractive flooring with the appearance of a hardwood floor. Although laminate flooring looks like wood flooring, there is actually no solid wood used in its construction.

It is perfect for anyone wanting a durable floor for a fraction of the price and installation time of a hardwood floor, but with the attractiveness of real hardwood. Timber is preferred for a majority of flooring.

Chipboard provides an economical alternative to solid timber boards, although it has a fairly short lifespan compared to solid timber. Hardwood planked tongue and groove provides warmth, durability and a beautifully grained surface suitable for all room types hence it is widely chosen. All in all, wood flooring is a great option.
