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 a truly amazing job, I would recommend them in an instant. The restoration of the floor in my studio is exceptional - it was loose, grey, uneven and had large gaps, but now it is rich, warm, smooth and solid with a beautiful finish. It was a perfect job, the team were clean, efficient and dealing with them was fast and simple.
Stockbridge Flooring are great Our floors are FAB! Mark and his team worked really hard and went the extra mile to do more than we asked in a short space of time. The staining is beautiful and the advice about color and finish was spot on. We totally recommend them.
Mark and his team have done a superb job laying a new parquet floor for us in a traditional New Town dining room. Fine materials and quality craftsmanship combined in a beautiful result that is completely in keeping with the period. It has added a wow factor to the room, but without looking brand new – quite a feat. It is too early to say how it will age, but at this point, I can recommend for looks the 3 stage solvent-based polyurethane varnish they use on new oak. Mark did his best to accommodate – cheerfully – our exacting requirements. Not the cheapest quotation we had, but decidedly good value. You have to pay for quality, and that is what Stockbridge Flooring deliver.
I got several quotes to have my lounge and hallway floors sanded. Mark was great – he gave me confidence that they would do a good job, and they surpassed my expectations by doing an amazing job. Several bits of the floor needed repairing, and these were done to the highest standard. I can honestly say that the floor looks far better than I ever would have imagined. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone who is thinking about having their wooden floors sanded or worked on.
