Engineered wood flooring is constructed of layers of real wood, including a hardwood top layer, glued firmly together under high pressure for greater stability. The hardwood veneer is available in different designs, finishes and thicknesses to suit all interiors.
The middle and bottom layers are generally made from plywood and provide strength and balance, making engineered boards suitable for most areas of the home, including kitchens.
The structure of engineered wood floors means they can be installed as a floating floor on top of any type of sub-floor. This makes the installation of engineered wood flooring straightforward and efficient. The planks can be installed using a click/lock or gluing system over a sub-floor.
Depending on the thickness of the engineered boards, nails can also be used. The top layer is pre-finished, so has already been sanded and sealed prior to installation. Once it is laid, it can be walked on and enjoyed immediately.
Engineered wood floors are ideal for areas where solid wood flooring is not suitable and can be combined with underfloor heating. A robust and durable alternative to solid wood, engineered boards have many of the same benefits as laminate flooring, being easy to maintain and clean, making it ideal for the busy family home.
Stockbridge Flooring can advise on all aspects of installation and supply you with many different options of engineered wood flooring, including styles, plank lengths and widths to suit your needs.
Mark and his team did an excellent job on our oak flooring, both repairing and replacing damaged boards and sanding and varnishing. They were very efficient, pleasant to deal with and left everything clean and tidy. They are a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Very pleased We chose Stockbridge Flooring based on these reviews and weren’t disappointed. We had our whole flat sanded, a hearth taken out, some replacement floorboards plus other fixing and the results look great. Mark was very helpful and provided us with good sound advice. We’d happily recommend to others.
Floor Sanding We’re so delighted with our floors- excellent service and done really quickly. Mark came round and quoted the next day and we were really impressed with his knowledge. Our living room, bedroom and hall was all done within two days, and at a very reasonable price. The finished look is great! I’d definitely recommend them if you want great floors with no hassle.
Stockbridge Flooring sanded and varnished our dining room floor. We had wanted this done for some time but as the floor was covered with a thick layer of bitumen we had convinced ourselves it would be impossible. Friends had their floors sanded by Stockbridge Flooring and recommended them so we decided to see if they could help. Although Mark said the bitumen was the worst he had seen they did a great job and it is impossible to tell the boards were once entirely black! With a baby and toddler in the house and the dining room the only way to access the kitchen we were worried about disruption in getting the floor sanded. However, the room was sealed off to keep any dust contained, the dining room cleaned after the work was finished and the job completed as quickly as possible. The disruption was kept to an absolute minimum. We will be getting our other floors sanded soon.
