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.
Mark came round within and hour of my call and the work was all complete within the week while we were away on holiday. I can’t fault the service. Excellent result, the floor looks great.
Beautiful reclaimed wood floor I was impressed with these guys from start to end of the process. Mark was quick and honest to produce a highly competitive quote, delivered samples to my house and then was able to start work around my schedule. The end result is superb and the customer service was amazing even when we managed to lock ourselves out of our own home for half a day, Mark still finished on time and on budget. I would recommend Stockbridge to anyone. Proper floor craft!
We had just moved back to Edinburgh after many years away and had no idea which tradesmen to employ but wanted to use someone local. Mark was quick to respond, speedy with his quote and he and his team have done a wonderful job, going out of their way to do that little bit extra. They stripped, repaired and polished our old wooden floors, and when we realized they did painting as well, we happily employed them for that too. Everyone was very friendly, polite and helpful and the whole place is looking wonderful thanks to them. Can’t recommend the enough.
