Engineered Wood Flooring

Engineered wood flooring is constructed from several wood layers bonded together to form one piece of flooring. The core is made from layers of HDF, plywood, or softwood, which run in different directions to increase the floor's overall stability. The top layer (also known as the 'Wear Layer' is always made from solid wood veneer. Its thickness varies between 2-6mm depending on the product. This top layer gives the floor the overall characteristics of a solid wood floor, making them a popular choice in today's interior design trends.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate Flooring is made from a series of synthetic layers to create a strong and versatile flooring product. It all starts with a backing layer made from melamine fibreboard which gives the product its stability. A specialist photographic layer is then applied to the surface - This can reflect many different flooring types such as real wood, concrete, tiles, etc. A clear coat of lacquer is then applied to the top surface to finish the board, which protects the floor from day-to-day wear and tear. With current innovations in the Laminate industry, it is now possible to print 3D surfaces onto the top layer to make your laminate floor feel more authentic than ever.
