What Is Engineered Hardwood Flooring?
Engineered Wooden Flooring is extremely popular, because they are more stable and versatile.
The thickness is about 14/13.50 mm. Top layer is a specie of wood, 3mm and 2mm. Bottom is
wooden, spruce or pine or plywood (12mm or 11 mm). It is also very durable.
Style of Engineered Hardwood
One-strip
1-Strip wood flooring, as the name suggests is wood flooring that comes in
the style of one strip of wood. In other words, it has one, single strip
of solid wood that goes from one side to the other. On each floorboard
you have no joins mid-board, all you have is the edges of the board.
Three-strip
3- Strip wood flooring, on the other hand is floorboards that
are made to look as if they have three floorboards in one. They
may be as wide as 45 or 60 cm, or even wider and will have a
solid wood top layer, but that solid wood will either have been
made to look as if it three separate pieces of hardwood or it may
indeed be 3 separate pieces.
Herringbone
A herringbone wood floor is created with rectangular pieces of
wood arranged to form a zig-zag effect. The solid wooden planks
push against each other to create the herringbone pattern. This
means the planks have less tendency to move or expand.
Chevron
Chevron is an inverted V-shaped pattern. The first use of this can
be traced back to old pottery design in Knossos, Crete which dates
back to the Bronze Age. This was also first seen as flooring in the
16th century in Europe. With its aligned pattern, the Chevron floor
looks like a long line of straight arrows
