Veneer thickness
0.5mm*
Veneers of 0.5mm offer a cost effective and durable solution to your flooring needs as well as being an
easy installation. Although the veneer cannot be sanded they do offer a greater surface hardness than
most solid hardwood floors. Made up of three layers; bottom layer of pine giving the board stability in
numerous environments, middle layer which is extremely durable and a I get your point but unsure its
positive enough, top layer of selected hardwood veneer.
2.5mm*
The two biggest advantages to this veneer thickness are cost and the environmental factor, without losing any of the decorative appearance. The 2.5mm veneered
products are durable and can be sanded 1 – 2 times during their life so will last anything up to 30 – 40
years. Traditionally made up of three layers; bottom layer of pine/spruce giving the board stability in numerous
environments, middle layer of pine to give the board some depth, top layer of selected hardwood veneer.
3.6mm*
Being the most traditional construction of engineered wood flooring you should be able to find your perfect
floor with a 3.6mm veneer. Traditionally made up of three layers; bottom layer of pine/spruce giving the board
stability in numerous environments, middle layer of pine to give the board some depth, top layer of selected
hardwood veneer. These layers are usually set at a 90 degree angle to one another to maximise the stability of
these products. A wear layer that can be sanded 5 – 6 times during its life will last up to 70 – 90 years.
6mm*
A 6mm veneer construction allows you to use your engineered floor as a load bearing floor. Normally around 20mm
thick in total with a wear layer that can be sanded around 10 times during its life it will last hundreds of years.
With a ply board base this construction can be floated or nailed onto joists giving a great option with
under floor heating.
