Engineered wood flooring has become the preferred choice for many property owners in Bloomsbury thanks to its smart construction and timeless appearance. It offers the same visual appeal as traditional hardwood but with improved durability and stability. Each board is made up of multiple cross-layered layers, which significantly reduces the effects of humidity, moisture, and temperature fluctuations — common causes of damage in solid wood flooring.
This advanced structure allows engineered wood to be used in areas where solid wood might not be suitable, such as kitchens, basements, or even bathrooms. It provides all the key benefits of real wood — natural beauty, comfort underfoot, hygiene, and the ability to be sanded and refinished. Whether you're installing in a residential or commercial space, engineered wood delivers a long-lasting and elegant result. Our Bloomsbury floor fitting team ensures every detail is handled with care and professionalism, from selection to installation.

One of the major advantages of engineered wood flooring is its versatile installation options. Depending on the subfloor condition, budget, and type of engineered boards, your floor can be fitted in several ways—glued down, nailed down, or installed as a floating floor.
The floating method is especially useful when the subfloor isn't perfectly level or fully dry, making it a practical choice for renovations and projects involving underfloor heating. Click-lock engineered boards are designed specifically for this method, allowing fast and secure installation over an underlay with moisture protection and acoustic insulation.
Alternatively, tongue-and-groove boards offer a more traditional fitting method, either glued directly to the subfloor or nailed for added stability. Both approaches ensure a strong, solid floor that performs well in both residential and commercial settings.
Every engineered wood floor fitting project in Bloomsbury starts with a careful evaluation of the subfloor. Our expert installers ensure the base is clean, dry, level, and structurally sound. If any issues are found—such as moisture imbalance or unevenness—our team will carry out the necessary repairs before proceeding with the installation.
In cases where the subfloor remains imperfect or there's underfloor heating, floating installation becomes the ideal method. This technique requires a high-quality underlay that provides moisture protection, insulation, and sound reduction. Engineered boards with a click-lock mechanism are then installed on top, creating a stable and comfortable surface.
Alternatively, engineered wood boards with a tongue-and-groove profile may be either glued down or nailed, depending on the subfloor. Both methods offer exceptional durability and longevity. Nail-down installation conceals fasteners entirely, ensuring the visual appeal of the wood remains intact.
Another key step is acclimatisation. Boards must rest on-site in Bloomsbury for at least a week before fitting. This allows the wood to adjust to local humidity and temperature, significantly reducing the risk of post-installation issues like expansion, contraction, or cupping.
If you want to enjoy all the benefits of engineered wood flooring, make sure it’s installed by professionals who know the material inside out. Our team in Bloomsbury delivers flawless results, tailored to your needs, using the most suitable installation methods based on your subfloor and chosen flooring type.
