About the range

What Is Engineered Timber Flooring?

Introducing our stunning Engineered Timber Flooring collection, carefully crafted to add a touch of timeless elegance to your space. With its superior quality and exquisite aesthetics, our engineered timber flooring is the perfect choice for those seeking a harmonious blend of durability and style. Designed to withstand the demands of a busy household, including pets, children, and even the liveliest of gatherings, our engineered timber flooring is a testament to both practicality and sophistication

Engineered timber flooring is a type of flooring that is constructed using multiple layers of wood. It consists of a thin veneer of real timber, typically around 3-4mm thick, placed on top of a multi-ply substrate.

The purpose of using multiple layers is to enhance the stability and durability of the flooring. The substrate, made of plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF), provides strength and moisture resistance, preventing warping and excessive expansion or contraction with changes in humidity. The top layer, made of real timber veneer, adds natural appeal and aesthetics. It can be crafted from various wood types and finished to achieve the desired color and texture.

Engineered vs. Hybrid Flooring: What’s the Difference?

Engineered timber flooring is crafted using multiple wood layers, comprising a thin real timber veneer atop a multi-ply substrate. This multi-layered design boosts the floor’s stability and longevity. The substrate, made of plywood or HDF, ensures strength and resists moisture. The genuine timber veneer on top provides the authentic appeal.

Questions

Things people ask us

What is engineered timber flooring?

A real oak veneer, typically around 3 to 4mm thick, bonded to a multi-ply core. You walk on genuine timber, and the layered core underneath keeps the board stable as Melbourne swings between humid and dry.

Can engineered timber go over concrete or tiles?

Yes. Our boards can be floated over an acoustic underlay, glued directly to a concrete slab, or glued and secret nailed to a timber subfloor. We will recommend the right method once we have seen the site.

Does engineered timber work with underfloor heating?

Often it does. Tell us what heating system you have and we will advise on compatible boards and the right installation method.

How long will an engineered oak floor last?

With sensible care, decades. Our engineered oak floors carry at least a 25 year residential structural and surface warranty.
