Laminate, Hardwood And Engineered Wood Floor Suppliers
Before you settle on wood or laminates as your choice of floor covering, find out more about engineered wood from our professional wood floor suppliers. Unlike laminate floors that are created from a resin and just emulate hardwood floors, engineered wood floors are manufactured from 100% natural wood materials. The process involves placing a thin slice of wood on a thicker plank of unfinished plywood or chipboard creating a board or plank that looks and feels just like solid hardwood flooring. The plywood is placed at a cross-section to the natural wood material providing a greater level of support than you would get from either laminate or hardwood flooring materials from wood floor suppliers.
Engineered wood from wood floor suppliers will also be much less expensive than real hardwood flooring but will cost more than a laminate flooring option. This difference in cost should however nor be a consideration when choosing between laminate and engineered wood flooring as the engineered option will last much longer than laminate flooring. Engineered wood flooring is also much more economical as it can be sanded or buffed should any scratches or other damage occur to the floor boards. It is probably best to get a professional from wood floor suppliers to affect these repairs, as it can be easy to sand straight through wood layer and onto the unattractive plywood layer.
Another benefit of engineered wood is that it is much easier to install than solid hard wood flooring. The engineered wood can be secured directly to the floor surface using either nails or other types of adhesive. If you are not confident that you can install these types of floors on your own, your wood floor supplier should be able to supply you with an installation team to take care of each step of the installation process.
