Natural oak engineered wood flooring

Why natural oak engineered flooring?

As fantastic as hardwood flooring can be from a visual standpoint, it does require a lot of maintenance, which is why natural oak engineered wood flooring is such a good alternative. Readily matching the same wood plank aesthetic at a much lower cost, engineered wood offers a convenient flooring option that’s easier to maintain.

More durable than wood

When it comes to hardwoods vs engineered woods, traditional wood planks are certainly tough, but they’re still not as hard-wearing as natural oak engineered flooring. Built with real oak, engineered planks are backed by hardened fibreboards, insulating layers, and a wear covering, all of which add greater protection for a longer-lasting product.

What is natural engineered wood flooring?

When it comes to understanding what natural engineered wood flooring is, the best way to think of it is as a modern upgrade to the standard wood flooring you find in many older homes. Using a combination of real wood and modern manufacturing materials, engineered woods capture the same style as normal wood planks at a lower cost.

How does natural oak engineered flooring differ from solid wood?

While solid wood planks are crafted entirely from wood and nothing else, engineered wood flooring uses a combination of a real wood core and other natural materials to create a sturdier and more durable type of plank.

Not only that, but engineered wood also comes with a protective wear layer which can be oiled or lacquered to mirror the different finishes you might get with standard solid woods, doing two jobs in one.

How do you clean and maintain natural engineered flooring?

Engineered wood flooring is incredibly easy to clean, requiring little more than regular sweeping and the occasional wipe with a mop and warm soapy water to clear away any dirt and stains.
