Skilled Engineered Floor Restoration in East London

When it comes to home repairs, floor installation or restoration in particular, many homeowners believe solid wood is the best option. Not necessarily, you most certainly need to hire an agency for the job. Besides, it’s not moisture or heat-resistant. How about laminate? Well, looking good, and pretty cheap, but it’s just not real wood.

Here comes the winning alternative: engineered flooring. This is a product that looks like hardwood but is plywood with a wood veneer glued on the top surface of the core. It’s available in almost any hardwood species: hickory, oak, bamboo, maple, etc. There are a couple of great benefits about it, which you should take into account when deciding whether to have this type of flooring installed. First and foremost, it has the natural characteristics of the wood species for an affordable price. Secondly, it’s much more stable and resistant to moisture and heat than both solid wood and laminate. Engineered flooring is more expensive than laminate, however, it’s wiser to install it in the long run, cause it can be sanded regularly to revive the wood and rub out scratches.

It’s usually ideal on a concrete subfloor and can be either glued down or installed as a floating floor. When it comes to maintenance-related issues, many homeowners or a businessman might be asking themselves. Can you sand and refinish the engineered wood? In the majority of the cases, the answer is yes, you can do so, at least 2-3 times, depending on the thickness of the hardwood layer. So far so good, but where is the catch? Well, you only have a few millimetres of real wood to work with. Therefore sanding is best left to the experts. That’s because the real wood top layer is usually quite thin (3-6mm) and the work needs to be meticulous to avoid sanding straight through the plywood. One should choose a professional company carefully, to avoid trouble.
