Buy engineered wood flooring from 1926 Trading Company Ltd Engineered wood flooring accounts for the majority of wood flooring sold today thanks to its strength and versatility. Consisting of a layer of solid wood atop a multi-layer core, it is an affordable alternative to hardwood and can be used in areas where hardwood may not be suitable, such as kitchens. Unlike hardwood, it can also be used in conjunction with underfloor heating systems, as the bottom layer prevents it from splitting and warping. At 1926 Trading Company Ltd, we stock a wide range of engineered hardwood wood floors from some of the top brands, including Kahrs, Hakwood and Panaget. Benefits of engineered wood flooring Home owners choose engineered wood flooring over solid wood for a number of reasons. Firstly, it provides the look and feel of hardwood, but with extra stability and restricted expansion and contraction. This makes is suitable for use in the home as well as in commercial applications like restaurants. It is also available in a range of installation options, making it extremely adaptable. Some products can be nailed down, while others can be glued. And unlike hardwood floors, engineered planks can be laid as a floated floor. Some varieties of engineered wood flooring feature click to fit technology, making them quick and easy to install. Boards are simply clicked into place in the same way as a laminate style click system. Advantages over laminate Engineered wood flooring has several advantages over laminate. Most notably, it looks and feels warmer and more expensive thanks to the top timber layer. The options are also much greater, as engineered wood flooring is available in various wood types, colours and finishes, such as lacquered, stained and hand scraped. Furthermore, engineered wood floors can be sanded down and re-treated, giving the planks a longer lifespan than laminate provided they are cared for correctly. And like hardwood, engineered wood can add value to your home in a way that laminate cannot.
