Engineered wood floors have totally revolutionised the world of real wood flooring. They consist of cross ply layers glued one on top of each other, with a top layer of real wood. They look just like solid wood floors, but their creative construction makes them more stable, more durable and friendlier to your budget! They feature a variety of different locking systems which make them really simple to lay.
Living rooms have a stable temperature, low moisture levels and low footfall, all of which are ideal for an engineered floor.
You can lay an engineered floor in a kitchen, just bear in mind that spillages shouldn't be left to soak in - be sure to dry off your floor quickly. Because of their lower water-resistance, we don't recommend oiled engineered floors for kitchens, but if you're after a similar look, matt lacquered floors offer more protection.
