Engineered Oak flooring is a popular choice to homeowners looking for a timeless, classic and beautiful natural floor. Its engineered construction means that it has the same appearance, character, appeal and charm as solid Oak flooring but it is much more durable and hardwearing due to added stability and strength.
The planks of engineered Oak flooring are made by bonding multiple layers of plywood together with a layer of Oak on the top. The base layers are glued at 90 degrees to the grain of the Oak top layer to give the flooring is dimensionally stability. This means that the planks do not expand and contract as much as solid wood flooring planks, making them much more versatile.
