Engineered Timber Flooring

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.
