Engineered wood flooring is the ultimate solution when the robust and hard wearing qualities of solid wood flooring is a requirement but the advantages of laminate flooring such as ease of installation or use with under-floor heating are also desired. Engineered wood flooring has a core of either high strength ply, birch or poplar with a real wood layer bonded to this making it far less susceptible to expansion due to moisture, bowing and movement. An engineered wood floor can be resanded and finished during its lifetime returning it to its original condition.
