Engineered Oak Flooring

Floor is a part of the house we can't really choose whether we want it or not. It is just there, a house without floors doesn't exist. So in order to present ourselves as the bosses of the house, we have only one option - we can choose the flooring type. Yay!

If we decide to go with the wood flooring option we have two possibilities:

- Solid wood flooring
- Engineered wood flooring

SOLID WOOD FLOORING

Solid hardwood floors are available in a vast range of dimensions and styles, with each plank made of solid wood and milled from a single piece of timber. Solid hardwood floors were originally used for structural purposes, being installed perpendicular to the wooden support beams of a building. Modern construction techniques now rarely use wood building frames and solid hardwood floors are used almost exclusively for their appearance.

ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING

Engineered wood flooring is composed of two or more layers of wood in the form of a plank. The top layer is the wood that is visible when the flooring is installed, and is adhered to the core (or substrate) which provides the stability. The engineered oak flooring is the most popular form of this type of flooring.
