What is Engineered Flooring
Engineered flooring is one of the most popular flooring these days and is composed of wood flooring that uses engineered wood planks. The makeup is multiple thin layers of plywood bundled i.e., bonded together and covered with a thin top layer of hardwood. The thin top layer or lamella is the face of engineered timber which gives its visual appeal. In fact its beautiful and strong flooring with better structureand dimensional stability.
Engineered timber flooring is not only easy to install, maintain and also very cost effective. Northern Flooring offers reasonable prices for Fully installed Engineered Timber in Melbourne
The three main Layers in a fully engineered timber flooring are:
Top Layer
Engineered timber flooring uses a lacquered surface which provides scratch, moisture and UV protection.
Timber Veneer
Engineered timber contains a veneer of real timber which usually varies between 2mm to 6mm in thickness. This gives it the real timber experience which laminate floors cannot match.
Core Board
Engineered timber usually contains a plywood core which provides dimensional stability against floorboard movements. Some more innovative products like the HydroPro timber that use a 100% waterproof limestone based core.

Luxury flooring for bathroom and kitchen – the engineered timber
Engineered wood flooring is also appropriate for laying in damp areas like bathroom or the kitchen This flooring is less susceptible to expansion and contraction than hardwood floors, making it an ideal place as a luxury hardwood floor for rooms, open areas, kitchen as well as bathroom. However, this does not mean engineered timber floors are completely stable, and in such high humidity areas some expansion is to be expected. Both kitchens and bathrooms are also high spillage areas and so all spills must be dried and cleaned quickly to prevent the wood from being damaged. However, if treated and installed properly, and maintained in accordance with best practice, engineered wood flooring will maintain its integrity and luxury finish for many years.
