Engineered wooden flooringconsists of layered tiers of real wood pressed together.
The real wood surface veneer layer is available in many different designs and finishes,
and is also available in many different thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm up to 6mm.
A typical veneer being 3.6mm which can be sanded 4/5 times. During the manufacturing
process, the layers of real timber run in different directions meaning it is more
dimensionally stable than solid wood, but identical to solid wooden flooring in
appearance.
Engineered wood flooring is perfect for those areas of the house where solid wood
flooring may not be suitable, such as basements, conservatories or over under-floor
heating.
