Engineered Wood Flooring

At Wood Floor Warehouse, we buy all our engineered wood floors in bulk and directly from the factory to give you the best price possible. Engineered flooring is the gaining popularity as a premium real wood flooring option, as it is the most stable while delivering authentic wood warmth and texture. We stock a large range, ready for fast dispatch or collection in-store. If you’ve been looking for a floor upgrade, this could be the option that works best for you.

Why you’ll love engineered wood flooring

Engineered flooring is designed to be incredibly stable and more durable than standard flooring. It is typically made in a way that makes installation fast, with the top layer adaptable to be primed in pretty much any colour or finish you’d want. It is very long-lasting (most of what we have in stock has a 15-25 year warranty), comes in a wide range of colours (just look at some of the light or dark options in stock) & works wonders in domestic or commercial settings.

Understanding what makes engineered wood flooring special

So, what is it that makes this flooring stand out from the rest? The ‘engineered’ part is the method used to create each plank you lay on the floor. In the simplest terms, common durable wood like timber or oak gets cut into thin layers and planed before being pressed together (sometimes at opposing angles) with a veneer on top. Stacking the layers as such creates a stronger bond for a plank than traditonal flooring. The process also means that each plank is easier to clean and take care of.

Knowing how engineered flooring helps in your home

With all those thin layers stuck together, what benefit does it give you? The main reason you’d want this type of flooring is down to needing something that will provide stability and strength. That’s why it is common to have it in hallways (long wide planks are good for halls) and busy rooms at home.

We stock thicker engineered flooring in the 13mm-20mm range, making it a better choice if you want to replace creaky bedroom floors and want something that will retain heat and prevent sound bleeding through the house. We also have options for thicker top-layer flooring should you want it; ranging from 3mm to 6mm. Unsure what flooring you need? Use our super-handy Floor Finder tool.

Engineered wood flooring for commercial spaces

Pretty much everything you see here is suitable for light commercial use. Commercial spaces typically need more coverage, so please use the calculator at the top of the page to budget effectively. If you know it’s going to be used in a café/bar/restaurant, where spills are bound to happen, we recommend going for 5* wear rating products that don’t need glue (helps in case planks need swapped out/replaced). Opt for scratch-resistant engineered flooring for spaces where furniture and such are getting moved around a lot, opt for scratch-resistant engineered flooring.

Taking care of engineered wood flooring

By its very nature, wood flooring has to get a few scratches here and there over the years. Thankfully, engineered flooring is easy to take care of. We have you covered with a comprehensive selection of flooring protection products, including care kits & felt pads. For anyone who plans to install their order, double-check that you have all the floor fitting tools you need before heading to checkout.
