At Oak Flooring Direct, we supply engineered wood, particularly engineered oak flooring, from any number of different suppliers. On this page, I’ll run through some of the basics of our engineered wood flooring range.

Engineered timber comes in many shapes (plank, parquet, panel), sizes (width, thickness, length), colours (produced by pigments, tints and smoking) finishes (lacquers, oils) and patinas (brushed, hand-scraped, band-sawn). This can make finding your preferred floor a confusing and drawn out process. Trust us when we say you’ll generally require a fair amount of expertise to make the right choice – that’s why we’re in a job after all!

What defines an engineered board as opposed to a solid wood board is that solid boards are constructed wholly of a single piece of hard-wood while an engineered board is constructed of layers of soft-wood, topped with a solid wood veneer. It is the veneer which’ll form the surface you walk over. 

The multi-layered structure of engineered boards mean that they will form a more stable floor than a traditional solid wood floor system. The crossed layers counteract the natural movements of the timber flooring, which is caused by subtle changes in temperature and moisture. This also enables many engineered wooden floors to be installed over under floor heating systems.

Engineered wood flooring is also more environmentally-friendly than some solid wood flooring, as fast-growing wood species like spruce, pine, poplar and birch are used for the intermediate layer

14 – 15mm thick, high-quality engineered wood floors can be sanded two to three times over the lifetime of the floor. 20mm thick boards with thicker wear layers can be sanded back many more times.
