Engineered timber flooring is a type of flooring made from layers of real wood that are bonded together to create a durable and stable product. Unlike solid timber flooring, which is made from a single piece of timber, engineered timber flooring is made from a top layer of hardwood that is glued to multiple layers of plywood.
The top layer of hardwood is usually between 2mm and 4mm thick, and is available in a range of different species and finishes to suit a variety of design preferences. The underlying layers provide stability and strength to the flooring, making it less susceptible to warping and movement caused by changes in temperature and humidity.
Engineered timber flooring is popular because it offers the beauty and warmth of real timber, while also being more affordable and easier to install than solid timber flooring. It can also be sanded and refinished multiple times, giving it a longer lifespan than other types of flooring.
