Engineered wood flooring is, indeed, the poster child for an advanced and modern type of real wood flooring. It offers the beauty and elegance of classic wood floors, however, it is designed in an advanced way that guarantees your engineered wood floor will withstand a lot more than a classic timber wood floor. Engineered wood floorboards come with a core structure of crisscrossed layers. This specific design ensures a significant decrease in the impact of moisture, humidity and temperature fluctuations – all of them a common reason or trigger for a number of solid wood floor damages and issues.
With that being said, engineered wood flooring becomes a great opportunity to enjoy the timeless beauty of real wood even in spaces of high moisture and humidity like the bathroom, kitchen, or basement – something that was unimaginable before the invention of engineered wood. Besides its durability and beauty, engineered wood comes with all the benefits of a real wood floor – it is functional and comfortable, it comes in a great variety of style and appearance options, it can be re-sanded and refinished, it is hygienic and easy to maintain in perfect condition.

One more major advantage of choosing an engineered wood floor is that you have extra flexibility when it comes to installation. Engineered wood floors can be installed either by glueing them down, nailing them down, or the floating way. The latter one is a perfect opportunity to enjoy a beautiful wooden floor over subfloors that cannot be levelled or completely dry – something that cannot happen with classic solid wood flooring. The type of installation of choice depends on many factors – the type and condition of the subfloor, the type of engineered wood floorboards, some specifics of the project.
Generally, engineered wood floorboards are available either with a built-in click system that allows floating installation or a tongue-and-groove profile that requires the usage of adhesive or nails for fixing the floorboards down.
Depending on the type of floorboards and installation, wood floor fitting specialists will approach the project in Bethnal Green differently. One important initial step that should not be missed or neglected is inspecting the condition of the subfloor. Our specialists will make sure that the subfloor is as dry, clean, level, and sound as possible. If for some reason these requirements are not met, our specialists will do their best to do the required repairs and fixes.
Even if this does not help, worry not, you can still have your engineered wood floor installed the floating way. Floating installation is a perfect solution for uneven or not completely dry subfloors as well as for an underfloor heating system. All you need is to purchase a high-quality underlayment with soundproofing, thermal insulation and moisture-blocking properties. Next, the installation of the floorboards with a built-in click-lock system is pretty easy and fast.
In case a floating installation is not required, your option is floorboards with a tongue-and-groove profile. Depending on the type of subfloor, the floorboards can be either glued down or nailed down. Both options ensure great stability and solidness of the floor. Nails are not visible when it comes to nail-down fitting as they remain hidden and won’t affect the appearance of your floor.
Acclimatisation of the flooring materials is one more very important aspect of the installation process. Engineered wood floorboards should be left out of their transportation packaging on-site in Bethnal Green for at least one week before installation. This means that wood will adjust to the moisture levels and average temperature of the room and the floorboards will not start contracting and expanding excessively once they are installed, which can lead to a number of issues for your floor.
Owning a beautiful new engineered wood floor is definitely something to be happy about. However, if you really want to ensure the best for your engineered wood floor, make sure it is installed by experienced and reliable specialists operating in Bethnal Green.
