“Any hardwood floor can be a great investment as it gives your property a natural, timeless feel that comes with warmth and luxury. Engineered wood flooring is a fantastic alternative to solid wood flooring as it has greater dimensional stability, can be less expensive and is difficult to tell apart once installed.
Engineered wood flooring is designed to be more stable and resistant to temperature changes and moisture. The exciting thing about it is that it looks like solid wood flooring because the top layer is real solid wood, but underneath is a plywood substructure. The top layer of hardwood runs perpendicular to the plywood substructure, which gives the flooring strength and stability as it can respond to changes in temperature and humidity. This means it can be used with underfloor heating and in rooms with large temperature fluctuations, such as conservatories and utility rooms.
