Engineered timber flooring is a modern innovation that combines the timeless elegance of a classic timber floor, with the ever-changing needs of the modern world around us.
Here’s why we love engineered timber floors so much:
1.
Sustainability
Engineered timber floors use a veneer, which is the bit you see from the top. Below the surface, they are composed of more environmentally friendly and sustainably sourced materials, such as plywood and hevea. This helps to preserve the beauty of the natural world around us, curb deforestation, and create a better tomorrow for all of us.
2.
Stability
Engineered timber flooring is designed with multiple layers of wood that are glued together in a cross-grain pattern. This construction method enhances its stability and reduces the risk of warping, cupping, or swelling caused by changes in temperature and humidity. A particularly important characteristic for us Queenslanders!
3.
Authentic Timber Aesthetics
From the surface, engineered flooring looks exactly the same as it’s solid counterpart. This allows you to enjoy the same beauty of classic timbers such as oak, spotted gum and blackbutt, with all the added benefits.
4.
Prefinished
All engineered floors (with the exception of the naked oak range) come prefinished. This eliminates the exposure of potentially toxic chemicals in your home.
5.
Easier, quicker and cheaper to install than solid floors
The difference in speed and ease of installation, as well as price, can be dramatic when compared to solid timber floors.
6.
Allergen and pest defence
One of the benefits of engineered timber flooring is that, while not completely termite proof, it has a far better resistance to termites than some solid timbers. It also does not collect allergens or dirt, or provide an environment for fleas or mites to survive.
7.
Superior insulation and acoustic properties
Engineered products generally have a superior rating when it comes to heat and noise transfer. If you are concerned about noise travelling downstairs, or live in an apartment block, this can be a huge consideration.
