Engineered wood flooring is constructed of layers of real wood, including a hardwood top layer, glued firmly together under high pressure for greater stability. The hardwood veneer is available in different designs, finishes and thicknesses to suit all interiors.
The middle and bottom layers are generally made from plywood and provide strength and balance, making engineered boards suitable for most areas of the home, including kitchens.
The structure of engineered wood floors means they can be installed as a floating floor on top of any type of sub-floor. This makes the installation of engineered wood flooring straightforward and efficient. The planks can be installed using a click/lock or gluing system over a sub-floor.
Depending on the thickness of the engineered boards, nails can also be used. The top layer is pre-finished, so has already been sanded and sealed prior to installation. Once it is laid, it can be walked on and enjoyed immediately.
Engineered wood floors are ideal for areas where solid wood flooring is not suitable and can be combined with underfloor heating. A robust and durable alternative to solid wood, engineered boards have many of the same benefits as laminate flooring, being easy to maintain and clean, making it ideal for the busy family home.
Stockbridge Flooring can advise on all aspects of installation and supply you with many different options of engineered wood flooring, including styles, plank lengths and widths to suit your needs.
Mark and his team repaired, sanded, stained and varnished 6 floors in our Edinburgh Georgian property conversion.Their work was excellent and we are delighted with the result. The team were always friendly and reliable and they have since helped and advised me on other refurbishment questions. Highly recommended.
With a new baby in the house, we new had to do something about our floorboards before they started crawling. really quick to come round and quote and the job was done on time and to a very very high standard with no mess! I would highly recommend. Only complaint would be that they did such a good job I will need to get more rooms done and will certainly use them again.
Absolutely delighted. The greatest testimony for any business is to use them again. I have had Stockbridge Flooring complete 3 very different jobs for me over the years and each one was thorough, professional and I would absolutely recommend them without hesitation. They have sanded floors for me in my old new town flat, laid a new painted floor in a kitchen and have just completed work in my new home using engineered wood. Each job was done with great care, attention to detail and each very different job has looked fabulous when finished. They are a great team who do a great job!! Many thanks.
