Frequently Asked Questions

What is Engineered Wood Flooring?

Engineered wood flooring is a type of real wood flooring made from multiple layers. It has a top layer of natural hardwood (like oak or walnut), bonded to supportive layers of plywood or HDF beneath. This construction gives it the look and feel of solid wood, with added stability and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity.

How Do You Clean Engineered Wood Floors?

To clean engineered wood flooring, start by regularly sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and dirt. For a deeper clean, use a damp (not soaking) microfiber mop along with a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner that's suitable for engineered surfaces. It’s important to avoid excess water, steam cleaners, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the floor’s finish and seep into the core layers. Spills should be wiped up immediately to prevent staining or moisture issues. Using doormats at entrances and keeping furniture legs protected with felt pads will also help maintain the appearance of your floor over time. With proper care, engineered wood floors remain durable and beautiful for many years.

Is Engineered Wood Flooring Better Than Solid Wood?

Engineered wood flooring offers several advantages over solid wood flooring. It is more dimensionally stable, meaning it won’t warp or swell as easily with moisture or temperature changes. This makes it a better choice for areas like kitchens, conservatories, or rooms with underfloor heating. It still features a real wood surface, so you get the same natural beauty with added practicality.

Can Engineered Wood Flooring Be Used With Underfloor Heating?

Yes, engineered wood flooring is compatible with underfloor heating. Thanks to its layered construction, it can handle heat changes without warping, unlike traditional solid wood flooring. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure suitability and install it correctly for best performance.

How Long Does Engineered Wood Flooring Last?

When properly installed and maintained, engineered wood flooring can last 20–30 years or more. The lifespan depends on the thickness of the top wood layer (known as the wear layer), how often it's refinished, and how well it’s cared for. Thicker wear layers (4mm+) allow for sanding and refinishing to extend the floor’s life.

Is Engineered Wood Flooring Real Wood?

Yes, engineered wood flooring is made with real wood. The top layer is genuine hardwood, giving it the same natural appearance and texture as solid wood. The difference lies beneath, where layers of plywood or other materials provide strength and stability.

Can Engineered Wood Flooring Be Refinished?

Yes, engineered wood floors can be sanded and refinished, but the number of times depends on the thickness of the top hardwood layer. Products with thicker wear layers (3mm–6mm) can be refinished multiple times, helping prolong their lifespan and refresh their appearance.

Is Engineered Wood Flooring Waterproof?

While engineered wood flooring is more moisture-resistant than solid wood, it is not completely waterproof. Spills should be cleaned up promptly to avoid damage. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, consider waterproof flooring options like our LVT range.
