How durable is engineered wood flooring?

An engineered hardwood floor has a very durable, long-lasting finish. This means that the floor can go for years without needing to be refinished. It also means that you don't have to worry about things like scratches or dents in the surface of the flooring, the way that you might with softer woods.

What are the advantages of engineered wood flooring?

Engineered wood floors are very easy to clean as they do not accumulate dirt, dust, or debris.  Along with an elegant, high-end look, wood floors offer the warmth, beauty, and value, which never goes out of style.  Our wood floors are manufactured using sustainable sources and finished to the highest standards that can last for generations. Able to stand up to active workspaces and heavy foot traffic, quality wood floors are tough, hard-wearing, and have long term durability.   These floors are a healthy choice for interior environments as they have no fibres, grout lines, or embossing that can trap dust, pollen, particles. They are the best choice of flooring with allergy sufferers and contribute to healthier indoor air quality.

Is engineered wood flooring, better than solid wood?

Due to its construction, engineered hardwood is much more stable than solid wood. Engineered wood is made up of layers, which have been heated up and tightly compressed together, which leads to a stronger and more durable floor. These compressed layers run perpendicular to each other, which means that there is less expansion and contraction, which allows for a snugger fit.

Is engineered wood flooring better than laminate?

Laminate flooring tends to make more noise than wooden floors due to its hard surface and lightweight, it can also feel a little hollow underfoot compared to real wood flooring and tends to transmit a little more noise. Engineered wood flooring consists of layers of solid wood compressed together. Therefore it is more weighty, has a more robust surface and tends to be quieter than laminate.
Laminate flooring is better than engineered wood in terms of impact resistance, durability and scratch resistance.
Both laminate and wood flooring are easy to clean products, although wood requires some maintenance. For laminate, regular vacuuming and mopping with a damp cloth along will suffice. An engineered floor needs some care to preserve its beauty. Lacquered wood flooring only requires standard cleaning, whereas oiled wood flooring needs to be treated regularly with the manufacturer’s cleaning products and maintenance oil.
