Engineered wood flooring comprises several layers of wood stuck together under extremely high pressures. It boasts more strength and durability than solid wood flooring, making it most suitable for kitchens and basements. Nowadays, the price of engineered wood flooring and solid wood flooring is pretty similar. However, in certain cases engineered wood flooring can end up being more expensive due to the labour costs involved in production. Engineered boards are able to deal with extreme and unstable conditions making them a more stable flooring solution. At Floorsave we provide our very own chosen range of engineered wood flooring from around the world.
Solid wood flooring on the other hand is made from a single plank of thick wood. It can sustain a variety of different treatments to alter the finish and feel and can be fully glued to the floor or nailed into your wooden sub-floor. The authenticity of solid wood flooring makes it a beautiful addition to any home. Its durability is also evident from the number of traditional floorings which are still in pristine condition, as they can last up to 100 years. Solid wood flooring can be sanded and resealed numerous times over the years so you can keep the appearance of your floor looking immaculate.
Choosing between engineered wood flooring and solid wood flooring is all down to personal preference and dependent upon your hom's characteristics. If you are looking for a wood flooring with a traditional feel to it then solid wood flooring may be for you, whereas if you are looking for a wood that is more modern in look and feel, then engineered wood flooring may be your choice.
At Floorsave we realise that buying engineered wood flooring or solid wood flooring is a serious decision for any customer, whether trade or public, and we hope our flooring will give you many years of enjoyment.
