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.
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.
Mark provided a brilliant service, my floors are completely transformed and at a reasonable price. His team were tidy and efficient. I would definitely recommend them.
First-class service I rang Mark after reading the reviews on Google and he was round at my house within the hour! How’s that for service. We got a couple of other quotes and Mark’s was very competitive but what really impressed was his friendliness and knowledge. We always try and use local tradesman and Mark and his team were based just around the corner. We actually went on holiday and just let the guys get on with it. By the time we came back, we couldn’t believe the finish on our floorboards. The repairs were of the highest quality and overall we were thoroughly delighted. A friend used another company and wasn’t at all happy with the finish when compared to ours. We’ll definitely use them again for another place.
Fantastic job! We had our living room and hall floors sanded and it looks fantastic. The damaged floorboards were replaced and all holes filled. We went away for a few days and left the team to it. We came home to a surprisingly clean house. Mark and his team obviously made a big effort to clean up. I would not hesitate to recommend Stockbridge Flooring. Thanks again.
