What veneer thicknesses are available?
0.5mm to 2mm* veneer
Veneers of 0.5mm are cost effective and durable 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; a bottom layer of pine giving the board stability, an hdf middle layer which is extremely durable and a top layer of selected hardwood veneer. The hdf layer takes the brunt of any impact, leaving the veneer to look good for years.
2mm veneer floors are cost efficient and environmentally friendly, without losing any of the decorative appearance. The 2mm veneered products are durable and can be sanded 1 – 2 times so will last anything up to 30 – 40 years. Traditionally made up of three layers; a bottom layer of pine/spruce giving the board stability, a middle layer of pine to give the board some depth, and a top layer of selected hardwood veneer.

2.5mm to 3.6mm* veneer
Being the most traditional construction of engineered wood flooring you should be able to find your perfect floor with a 2.5mm or 3.6mm veneer. Traditionally made up of three layers; a bottom layer of pine/spruce giving the board stability, a middle layer of pine to give the board some depth, and a 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 3-5 times during its life will last up to 70 – 90 years.

6mm* veneer
A 6mm veneer construction allows you to use your engineered floor as a load bearing floor if required, making them ideal for home renovation, to save laying a new subfloor. Others like the solid sturdy sound you get once these boards have been installed. These floors are normally around 20mm-22mm thick in total with a wear layer that can be sanded around 10 times during its life. With this in mind these floors will last hundreds of years. With a ply board base this construction can be floated or nailed onto joists giving a great option with underfloor heating, along with its wear layer of selected hardwood veneer.
