For homeowners seeking to cut labor costs and materials expenses while still obtaining top-quality results, engineered timber is an excellent choice. An engineered wood floor has multiple layers of wood in it with the top layer made of hardwood and the bottom one of softer wood. In addition to being a perfect substitute for solid wood, it's also easier to install and less susceptible to moisture damage.
You can find a range of engineered timber flooring at A&D Designer Floors Sydney. Want to explore more about such types of flooring? Here are 7 things that you need to know about engineered timber flooring. Have a look below.

1. It’s Laminate-free
The engineered timber flooring lacks lamination. However, it is covered by the veneer layer whose thickness varies widely between products. The veneer layer on engineered hardwood is made of real hardwood, connected to an inner core (like plywood). Compared to hardwood, laminate and vinyl planks have high-quality images of wood to simulate hardwood's appearance.
2. It’s Ideal for Underfloor Heating
With an underfloor heating system, engineered wood flooring is best, since it can handle changes in temperature well without warping or damaging over time. We, at A&D Designer Floors Sydney, offer highly durable and stable engineered timber floors with layers of sections of wood that are perfect for underfloor heating.
3. Engineered Flooring Has Matchless versatility
Nothing can beat engineered timber flooring for colors, species, width, and styles. From hallways to bedrooms, and traditional to contemporary designs, engineered hardwood can fit any style!
Besides offering different sizes, this type of product can also be customized to your specific requirements. With engineered timber flooring you can’t settle for less!
4. Limited Refinishing Options
Since engineered floors do not have a thick wear layer, they come with limited refinishing options. Contrary to this, solid hardwoods have a wear layer that can be sanded and refinished. Some engineered floors have wear layers that come in handy for their refinishing options. While others do not have it all and cannot be refined.
5. Engineered Timber Flooring is Eco-Friendly
If you wish to contribute to the green world, engineered timber flooring is your choice. Being eco-friendly, it helps preserve the environment. You can manufacture approximately four times as much engineered wood flooring for every square foot of 3/4-inch solid wood flooring manufactured.
Compared to traditional hardwoods, this type of floor does not use a lot of materials during production, making it a great choice for those looking to conserve resources while still preserving style.
6. Fit for Most Types of Subfloors
It is possible to glue down engineered hardwood over concrete slabs above or below ground level, or use staples to attach it to an underfloor made of wood or plastic. No matter what floor you have, you can install engineered timber over any type of floor.
Further, the performance of engineered flooring is better than that of solid flooring when it comes to swings in moisture. So, if you are looking for a good bathroom flooring idea, engineered timber flooring works best for you.
7. It’s Stronger Than Individual Pieces of Wood
In order to produce engineered hardwood, the layers of lumber, hardwood, and plywood are bonded together, resulting in a stronger, more rigid core compared to the individual components.
Conclusion
The look and feel of engineered timber flooring are similar to real wood, but it is stronger and more durable than real wood. It has many advantages over natural wood flooring making it a great voice for homes and businesses alike.
