There are many benefits to an engineered floor, but one of the main reasons you would choose an engineered floor rather than a solid floor is that it is more stable due to the product being manufactured with multiple layers, rather than one solid piece of wood.
The modern version of the hardwood parquet, the engineered wood flooring consists of three layers: the top layer (called wear layer or facing) is made from noble wood, and the other two layers from wood derivatives (sapwood, HDF). It is a durable and high quality floor covering, which has the same appearance as a solid parquet, but which is much easier to install: it can be quickly layed and easily clipped, hence its name of floating parquet. Unlike engineered wood flooring, laminate flooring is not made of noble wood and is only an imitation. Improprement called "parquet", the laminate floor is composed of resin, a HDF or MDF panel and a decorative layer, which reproduces the appearance of different wood species. More fragile and less authentic, it is all the time cheaper than a real floor and often resists water and moisture.
We can install your engineered wood flooring in oxford at any time, just give us a call. Today, most manufacturers offer engineered wood flooring with a lock or click system: you can quickly assemble your parquet by clicking, alone, without effort, without glue and without drying time! Thanks to this installation system, the parquet is immediately usable after being laid and it is even possible to replace a single blade individually.
Although engineered wood flooring can cope with moisture better than solid wood it is important to keep the flooring dry. For everyday cleaning, we recommend vacuuming with a soft flooring attachment or a dry microfiber dust mop to pick up the day to day dust and dirt.
Engineered wood flooring is seen to be good for allergies because this floor holds a lower amount of dust, mites, and pollen which are known to cause allergic and respiratory symptoms. Wood Flooring is simply easy to clean & doesn’t harbour dust and other allergy-causing material.
Whether an engineered wood flooring is suitable for underfloor heating depends on multiple factors, however, the more dense and the thinner the floorboards are the better they conduct heat. The underlay used along with the floor can also affect how the heat transfers through the board.
Engineered wood flooring is not all scratch-resistant, factors such as the surface finish and wood species can affect the wear resistance of the floor massively. Wood floors with a multilayered polyurethane finish tend to be harder wearing but always speak to our experts first to see what suits your requirements.
