Engineered wood flooring is made from layers of plywood or high-density fibreboard, with a real hardwood veneer on top. The way engineered wood is manufactured makes it more stable than solid wood, reducing expansion and contraction from temperature or humidity changes. All our engineered wood flooring offers the authentic look and feel of natural wood, with added durability and easier installation.
This is the most common question we get in the showroom, yes, engineered wood is real wood. The top layer, called the wear layer, is genuine hardwood, giving it the same natural beauty and texture as solid wood. The base layers, made from plywood or composite, provide stability and strength to each plank. This construction ensures you still enjoy the appearance of authentic wood while benefiting from improved durability and performance, which is great for family homes.
Engineered wood flooring typically lasts between 20 and 30 years, depending on quality, thickness, and maintenance. High-quality options with thicker top layers can be sanded and refinished multiple times, extending their lifespan considerably. The longevity of engineered wood flooring can be achieved through regular care, such as cleaning spills promptly and avoiding harsh impacts, ensures your floor remains beautiful and durable for decades.
Engineered wood is suitable for most rooms, including living rooms, bedrooms, dining spaces, and even kitchens if maintained carefully. Its layered design handles temperature and humidity changes better than solid wood, making it compatible with underfloor heating. However, it’s not ideal for bathrooms or very damp areas where high moisture could eventually damage the wood veneer.
Engineered wood comes in a wide range of styles, wood species, and finishes. You can choose from oak, walnut, maple, and more, with options like brushed, hand-scraped, oiled, or lacquered surfaces. Plank widths and lengths also vary, allowing traditional, rustic, or contemporary looks for your home. This versatility makes it easy to match engineered wood to existing room design.
Underlay is often recommended for engineered wood flooring, tt provides cushioning, helps to reduce sounds, and can help to level out flooring imperfections. In some cases, underlay with built-in moisture barriers is advised, particularly when installing over concrete. Glue-down methods may not require separate underlay, but our team will recommend what is best for your home.
Yes, engineered wood is usually more cost effective than solid hardwood, while still providing a real wood surface. Costs vary depending on species, thickness, and finish, but engineered options often deliver overall value for your home. Installation is also typically easier, which is reflected in the time we quote. This makes engineered wood an attractive choice for homeowners who want the beauty of timber within a budget.
Yes, engineered wood can add value to your home if you are thinking of selling. Since it’s real wood on the surface, it provides the same premium look and feel as hardwood, which many people buying will appreciate. In additional its durability, stability, and compatibility with modern features like underfloor heating increase its appeal. Well-maintained engineered wood flooring is key to maintaining a value.
