Engineered Oak Flooring
Engineered oak flooring is a credible alternative, where you would like to have wide boards but don't have the room height to allow for the battens necessary to attach traditional oak flooring.
Essentially, an unfinished, 6mm solid oak floor board is attached to a strong, tongue and grooved plyboard base to make a 21mm floor board available in various widths.
The great benefit of engineered oak flooring is that it can be laid using the traditional methods of nailing or screwing to battens, it can be glued to a concrete floor in any width, or it can be laid as a floating floor over an underlay sheet.
An engineered oak floor, once laid, is indistinguishable from a solid oak floor - it has the same micro-bevelled joins and can be stained, waxed or polished in exactly the same way as a solid oak floor.
Our engineered oak flooring is equivalent in quality to Multitop flooring but at a much reduced price (most retailers offer Multitop at £48+ per square metre) and as such represents amazing value for money.
Being a supplier of solid oak flooring, we were a little hesitant to supply engineered oak boards, but having seen an engineered floor laid, even we couldn't tell the difference.
NOTE: Unlike some of our competitors, we do not fill knots and shakes in engineered oak boards with unsightly resins or plastic fillers - we like our engineered oak flooring to look like a real oak floor!
