we take the recipe for engineered wood flooring and dramatically improve upon it. We fuse the highest quality materials and then stir in the most advanced technologies to create wide plank engineered flooring that is far superior to the industry standard.
By slicing hardwood into thin plies, and then restacking them with the grain running in alternate directions, you create an incredibly strong and stable structure. Top that with a layer of your chosen locally sourced hardwood (or premium pine) species, and you have flooring that is as beautiful as it is sturdy.
Any hardwood floor can be a great investment as it adds a natural, timeless appeal to your property, along with warmth and luxury. Engineered hardwood flooring is a fantastic alternative to solid hardwood flooring as it has more dimensional strength, can be less costly, and it is very difficult to distinguish between the two once they have been installed.
Engineered wood flooring is constructed in such a way that it provides better stability and resistance to variations in temperature and moisture. The exciting part is that it looks like solid wood flooring as the top layer is real, solid wood but it then has a plywood base construction underneath. The top layer of hardwood runs perpendicular to the plywood base, which creates the strength and stability of the flooring by allowing it to react to changes in temperature and humidity, meaning that it can be used with underfloor heating and in rooms that significantly change in temperature, such as conservatories and utility rooms.
The main advantages of engineered hardwood flooring are that it is:
Less costly than solid hardwood flooring
Difficult to tell apart from solid wood flooring once installed
Has a real layer of wood on top (unlike laminate flooring)
More resistant to fluctuations in temperature and humidity than solid wood flooring
A stable product so can be installed in a variety of ways to suit your property and preference, e.g. loose laid over an underlay
Compatible with underfloor heating
Mostly found with a click fitting system, making it quick and easy to install
Available in different wood species, styles, colours, finishes and plank widths
The top layer (wear layer) can be sanded and re-finished if necessary
Consistently sized and clean, our wood chips are an excellent source of biomass for reliable energy generation. Not only do you get a high-energy yield but you also contribute to a more sustainable environment by opting for a sustainable fuel source.
These chips are an ideal ground-covering solution for large agricultural operations, retaining moisture, suppressing weeds, and regulating soil temperature — crucial for optimal crop growth. Our bulk landscaping wood chips can cover extensive areas, providing a natural and effective solution for your ground-covering needs.
