UNIVERSAL FLOORING Engineered Wood Flooring

UNIVERSAL FLOORING Engineered Hardwood Floor is constructed from several wood plies that are glued together. It has wide range of species from temperate to tropical timers. Top layer is made up of cut veneer which is 3mm to 3.5mm thick. Middle core are made from Hevea, Rubberwood or Pine. The bottom layer is made from spruce veneer from Finland. This veneer is chosen for both its stability and sustainability as it comes from timber plantation in Finland grown mainly for pulp and paper industry. The top ply is also available in different wood species.

The benefit of engineered wood flooring is its durability and stability. These durability and stability come from the way the flooring is made, with each layer of wood placed perpendicular to the adjacent layer. These alternating 3 layers of wood materials laminated together to minimize the natural expansion and contraction of wood caused by exposure to moisture. Hardness of the top layer apart from appearance is important when selecting a wood floor. High traffic area may require hard wood species
