wood flooring

Wood is a natural product that is warm and full of texture. It comes in two main types "Solid Wood" - "Engineered Wood"

Solid wood flooring

Made from one piece of hardwood timber, solid wood flooring is as authentic as you can get when it comes to wood flooring and comes in a variety of thicknesses and widths. This flooring comes with tongue and groove edges and is usually glued or nailed onto the sub-floor.

Solid wood flooring will create a natural and warm ambience and is very long-lasting as it can be sanded and refinished many times over. Solid wood flooring is best for those looking for a quality, with a larger budget looking for a very long-lasting floor with a uniquely natural and a customised finish. It can also add considerable value to a home and can be seen as an investment that will often darken and deepen in texture and colour.

Engineered wood flooring

Using a more modern approach to wood flooring, engineered flooring uses a layered construction made up of one to three layers of hardwood on top of a soft wood core. This layered construction controls the natural movement of a wood floor. Although it is not made up of 100% hardwood, engineered flooring is more resistant to moisture and is therefore more stable.

It normally comes pre-finished with tongue and groove edges and depending on the manufacturer can be installed as a fully glued down floor, or on top of a suitable underlay as a floated floor. Engineered floors can usually only be sanded and finished one to five times, depending on the thickness of the hardwood veneer. As they usually come pre-finished, the choice of styles and finishes is much greater than with solid floors.
