Engineered wood boards consist of 3 layers. The hardwood surface, 3.5 mm thick is bonded to an intermediate layer of softwood on a softwood veneer base. The construction is extremely durable and covered by a 10-year structural warranty. The layers are mutually supportive, minimising movement in the wood. The floors are laid as ‘floating floors’, with the boards glued at the joints but not directly to the floor. A dry, flat, unyielding sub-floor and underlay is required.

 

A special feature of engineered wood boards is that they give an almost seamless floor. For this reason they are especially recommended for clients who prefer a parquet floor of smaller strips rather than the longer and wider planks of solid wood flooring.

 

Engineered parquet boards are 205 mm wide, 2400 mm long with individual hardwood strips 70 mm wide and 200-450 mm in length. The single-strip boards (as illustrated above) are 137 mm wide. Total board thickness is 14 mm.
