Why Choose Engineered Wood Flooring?
Engineered wood flooring is the most popular choice for homeowners, and it is easy to see why. These floors offer versatility and durability, combined with the beauty of natural wood.
Each layer runs in a different direction. The cross-grain construction ensures exceptional durability and stability, significantly reducing the wood's natural tendency to expand and contract. This makes them ideal for a variety of settings.
Engineered wood handles temperature fluctuations, making it perfect for homes with underfloor heating systems. Available in a wide range of finishes and styles, these floors can complement any décor.
Installation Considerations
When considering engineered wood flooring, installation is a key factor to deliberate. Firstly, assess the condition of the subfloor, ensuring it's level, clean, and dry to avoid any future issues such as warping or squeaking. It's important to note that engineered wood flooring can be installed in various methods, such as floating – where planks are snapped or glued together but not attached to the subfloor – or fixed, using glue, nails, or staples directly onto the subfloor.
FAQ
What is engineered wood flooring?
Engineered wood flooring is a type of flooring composed of multiple layers of wood. The top layer is made of real hardwood, while the underlying layers are made of high-density fiberboard (HDF) or plywood. This construction provides greater stability and resistance to moisture compared to solid hardwood flooring.
How does engineered wood flooring differ from solid hardwood flooring?
Engineered wood flooring consists of several layers, with only the top layer being real hardwood, which makes it more stable and less prone to warping and swelling in humid conditions. Solid hardwood flooring is made from a single piece of wood and can be more susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity.
Can engineered wood flooring be refinished?
Yes, engineered wood flooring can typically be refinished, but the number of times it can be done depends on the thickness of the top hardwood layer. Thicker wear layers (3mm or more) can be sanded and refinished multiple times, whereas thinner layers may only allow for light sanding and refinishing once or twice.
Is engineered wood flooring suitable for installation in all rooms?
Engineered wood flooring is more versatile than solid hardwood and can be installed in a variety of rooms, including basements and areas with higher humidity, like kitchens and bathrooms. However, it is still not recommended for areas with excessive moisture, such as full bathrooms with showers.
How should I clean and maintain engineered wood flooring?
Regular cleaning involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt and debris. Use a damp mop with a hardwood floor cleaner specifically designed for engineered wood. Avoid using excessive water, steam cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the floor.
Can engineered wood flooring be installed over underfloor heating?
Yes, engineered wood flooring is an excellent choice for use with underfloor heating systems due to its stability and resistance to temperature changes.
What type of underfloor heating system is suitable for engineered wood flooring?
Both electric and water-based (hydronic) underfloor heating systems are suitable. Ensure the system provides an even heat distribution and operates within the recommended temperature range.
