WHAT MAKES AN ENGINEERED TIMBER FLOOR
While engineered can sometimes give the ipression of synthetic, that isn’t true for engineered timber floors.
Engineered timber flooring, also known as floating timber, is made from real wood. The top of each engineered timber flooring plank is manufactured with a layer of timber (a lamella) generally 2-4mm thick. Engineered timber floors are covered by layers of lacquer or polish, and supplemented underneath with a core of pine, fir or plywood. The highest quality engineered timber flooring such as Elyseum, has several layers of UV protection and scratch-resistant natural Swedish-made polish finishes as well as solid hardwood timber cores for superior stability and structural properties with lamella layers from 3-6mm.
Our range at Esspada offers engineered timber flooring in beautifully rich and pale hues. With distinctive shaded patterns, a variety of ingrained textures, and knots. Although undeniably lovely, we advise you to come into the store near you and see their true strength and beauty in person at our showroom.
THE DIFFERENCE OF ENGINEERED TIMBER FLOORING
Like any product, you can expect both solid and engineered floors to have their own pros and cons:
Engineered Timber Floors
- Beauty: Wood surfaces hold a natural and organic elegance that is an integral element in so many designs of a room. It is real, natural timber so every single board’s grain and character is unique, something that can’t be achieved with imitative man-made products.
- Affordability: Generally it costs less than solid timber floors. Many in Sydney love engineered timber floors to give them real wooden floors, all at a more competitive price. Having timber floors also adds value to the property overall, so it is a good investment.
- Versatile: Whether your home design palette leans more towards warmer hues or something cooler, you can find a suitable option from our collection. Wood is also universally appealing that works with almost any design.
- Eco-friendly: Engineered timber flooring requires less precious woods in order to make up a board as opposed to the full slab of timber used in solid timber. Eco-conscious companies also employ a replanting scheme as well as using plantation hardwood to make the solid cores for engineered timber, instead of using harder to attain or precious resources when it comes to production. Engineered timber leaves a lesser impact on the environment.
- Simpler Installation: This kind of flooring can be installed over other types of flooring, and additionally with tongue and groove joining the process is just so much easier. That means you can save money and time with your installation! Furthermore, as soon as the installation is complete it is move in ready, able to be walked on and used immediately; no need for curing or drying times.
Solid Timber Floors
- Increased strength and durability: Solid timber floors are made, as expected, from a slab of solid timber which means it can put up with a lot of punishment and wear and tear and is rated as a structural product.
- Easy to sand surface: With the thick amount of hardwood, you can sand down your solid timber floors more than you can for standard 2-4 mm engineered timber. This allows you to get those deep scratches back into a smooth level surface again, if or when that damage occurs.
- Long lasting: Combining strength and the ability to sand, you can count on your solid timber floors to serve you for a much longer span of time than standard engineered timber flooring. However, high-quality engineered timber floors have a similar lifespan to solid timber flooring.
- Also more expensive: Hardwood timber takes longer to grow, and can be harder to source. Because solid timber uses precious timber for the whole plank, much more of it is used and needed to make the timber. This does lead it to be a more costly option.
