Engineered hardwood flooring is made up of multiple layers of wood veneers mixed with a synthetic material. Each plank of flooring is laminated together. This synthetic material acts as the base layer and is usually impervious to moisture. This makes it an ideal choice for concrete subfloors or rooms below grade. All engineered flooring is prefinished at the factory. Prefinished engineered wood flooring has the advantage of being able to coat it as many as seven times.

Selecting the Best Hardwood Flooring Auckland Is Crucial for Long Results It is important to be able to distinguish between engineered and solid hardwood flooring so that your investment will last a lifetime. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right hardwood flooring Auckland for your situation. If homeowners are familiar with the basics of hardwood flooring, they can feel confident about selecting it. Flooring made of solid hardwood Prefinished or unfinished, solid hardwood flooring can be made from one piece of lumber. After installation, unfinished hardwood flooring can be sanded and stained. This allows you to choose the color of your flooring to match your home or create an individual look. Unfinished flooring can cause a lot of mess due to sanding and fumes from staining and urethane coatings. High-quality contractors have the equipment to minimize dust from sanding. To reduce the harmful fumes from oil-based products, they may offer low VOC stains or water-based Urethane coatings. You can finish the floor multiple times to bring back its beauty as it wears. As it is usually stapled or nailed to the subsurface, solid hardwood flooring looks best when installed over a wood floor. Solid wood flooring should be installed above grade because it is susceptible to moisture and can warp in damp places. Engineered Hardwood Flooring Engineered hardwood flooring is made up of multiple layers of wood veneers mixed with a synthetic material. Each plank of flooring is laminated together. This synthetic material acts as the base layer and is usually impervious to moisture. This makes it an ideal choice for concrete subfloors or rooms below

This makes the flooring extremely durable and can withstand a lot of traffic. The top layers of engineered flooring can still be damaged or scratched by water. Engineered hardwood flooring is typically thinner than solid hardwood flooring. It is usually glued to the subsurface, but can also be stapled or nailed. Engineered flooring is thinner than solid hardwood flooring Auckland, which makes it difficult to refinish floors as they wear. Laminate Flooring Laminate flooring is synthetic and does not contain any natural wood products. Laminate flooring is highly resistant to moisture. Laminate flooring has a plastic-like finish that is extremely durable. Laminate flooring comes in many colors and finishes, including those that look like wood, tile, or stone.
