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.
The Stockbridge Flooring team restored our kitchen floor efficiently and beautifully. The guys were cheerful, helpful & friendly and got the job done on time and with the minimum of disruption and mess. Most importantly, the end product looks great!
Mark was very professional and knowledgeable I e-mailed Stockbridge Flooring for a quote and Mark rang back within 15 minutes to set up an appointment. We were looking for hardwood flooring but Mark confirmed we could use the existing floorboards that had been covered by carpet for years. This also halved the price of the job and the quote was very reasonable. Mark and his team turned up as promised and carried out the job to a very high standard. The floor was sanded, the gaps filled in, some boards replaced and three coats of varnish applied. It looks amazing and Mark was there to provide advice on how to keep it looking good. I have recommended Mark to many people since and would have no hesitation in using again. Excellent company.
I have recently had work done by your company. I found the staff to be helpful, friendly and reliable. Although faced with setbacks they persevered until the work was completed to a very high standard. The recommended Kahrs rustic oak flooring in the living room, kitchen and hall compliments the Victorian apartment. They replaced boards in the bedroom blend in well with the sanded floor. Overall I am delighted with both the service and the results and will have no hesitation in recommending your company to friends and family.
