Engineered Hard Wood Flooring
Engineered hardwood flooring is a popular flooring option that combines the beauty of natural hardwood with enhanced stability and moisture resistance.
Home Flooring can offer a wide range of engineered hard wood flooring depending on your requirements. Our specialist fitters can lay your chosen engineered hard wood flooring in any space throughout your home to the very highest of standards.
What Is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?
Engineered hardwood consists of multiple layers:
-
Top layer: A real hardwood veneer (oak, maple, hickory, etc.)
-
Core layers: Made from plywood, high-density fiberboard (HDF), or softwood laid in cross-grain layers for strength and stability.
Advantages
-
Real wood appearance: Looks nearly identical to solid hardwood.
-
Moisture resistance: More stable in humid or fluctuating environments (e.g., basements, kitchens).
-
Installation options: Can be nailed, stapled, glued, or floated.
-
Eco-friendlier: Uses less hardwood than solid planks.
-
Versatility: Can be installed over concrete or radiant heating systems.
Key Factors to Consider
-
Top layer thickness: Ranges from 0.6mm to 6mm. Thicker layers can be refinished more times.
-
Core type: Plywood cores offer better performance than fiberboard cores.
-
Finish: Pre-finished options are more durable and convenient; unfinished allows for custom staining.
-
Width and length: Wider planks give a modern look; longer planks can make rooms feel larger.
