Wood
flooring is mainly the product that is developed from timber and is generally
designed for flooring, either aesthetic or structural. People choose wood as flooring material
because of its environmental profile, restorability and durability. Adding
value to the lives of home owners is a continuous process. Such comes with options in colors, cuts,
species, design and style. Bamboo is also used for wooden flooring though it
can be referred as grass flooring rather than timbered flooring. Engineered timbered flooring is a combination
of two or more layers of wood in a manner of plank. The top layer is the
portion that is seen when the flooring is installed and adhered to the core.
The stability increases of such floorings when the layers are placed with 90
degree angle over the other. The engineered timbered floorings have such
stability that it can be installed in all types of subfloors. Engineered woods
are generally used globally. The most common engineered timbered wood used is
sawn. Such wood does not need composite wood, or plastic in their
construction.
Nowadays, people are well established in their life
and are more eager to a well established and modern life. As its commonly said
that a proper life demands food, clothes and shelter, so people are more prone
to well designed shelters. And to develop once place of living, timbered
flooring is a classic addition to it. Such flooring saves one from fire, flood
and also adds warmth and value in the house. Though there is difference between
various wooden floors, understanding the difference is a necessity. In the
early days, engineered timbered flooring was applicable only in concrete slabs
and generally in basements but with the development of technology nowadays such
flooring can be used anywhere. Engineered woods are more resistant to
moisture and are more promising and stable, but of course the stability depends
on the making of the engineered floor.
If one considers sustainability to be the prime concern then such
engineered floors can be never doubted. Such floor last from 20 to 100 years
depending on the thickness and the top veneer. The finishing of the wooden
floor adds up to the display of the flooring and its longevity and resilience
depends on the wood used for the engineered timbered flooring. Everything thing has a positive and negative
aspect and so does the flooring as well. As mentioned earlier the wood floorings
are more sustainable option and are less expensive as compared to solid planks.
But one should be very careful while choosing the wood because cheap woods
won’t last for long. There is also some common factor with solid wood as well.
The plank format and the thickness of the wood are generally done by nailing.
Engineered flooring has other benefits like dimensional stability and universal
use. A place with engineered timbered
wooden flooring is safe during flood as it also allows floating installation as
well. Such floors are also capable of being used in radiant heating systems and
building of under floor if it’s needed.
Basically, one can develop the style of livelihood
with the least changes and made in the décor of a house. This is done suiting
the needs of the members of the family, where engineered timbered flooring is
one out of many.
