(prHWY.com) December 6, 2012 - Eltham, Australia -- Engineered Flooring is perhaps the most effective and innovative flooring system among all the available ones.
Wood flooring has been in vogue since time immemorial. Interior decorators and designers have always harboured a special interest in hard board wood planks as perfect flooring materials for both the residential, as well as, the commercial purposes. Engineered Flooring system is a perfect blend of the real wood and the plywood flooring materials. This kind of flooring system uses 100% wood on the surface and plywood underneath.
This method of flooring suits best if anybody intends to remodel the floors of his/her home or office. Pure wood looks great on the surface because of its natural textures and colours. This type of flooring is much easier and hazard free to install during remodelling than the pure wooden hard board flooring. Wood is a gift of nature and is growing increasingly expensive day by day.
Engineered flooring is much less expensive than wood since it uses plywood boards partially. This kind of flooring is available in varied ranges and sizes. This kind of flooring comes in a pre-finished look as far as the surface layer is concerned. This means the customer does not have to spend on sanding. As soon as the installation is over anyone can walk over the floor. The home owner does not need to worry about the maintenance of this type of flooring much. It keeps its strength and lustre for a long time. The surface wooden covering in such flooring is eco-friendly, hypoallergic, and works as a good insulator. This method of flooring is fit for basements, kitchens, and bathrooms.
These are places in a household that are more or less affected by moisture. This flooring might not be fit for areas that remain always really wet. As far as the maintenance is concerned, this flooring does not need to be sanded any more than one to three times. How frequently one should sand the floor, depends actually on the thickness of the finished layer i.e. the surface wooden layer. Since the wooden boards come ready to walk on and pre-finished during installation, it is always better to seek assistance of a professional whenever the house owner thinks it is time to go for a re-sanding for the floors.
Anyone who is not a professional in sanding floors might gouge the surface wooden floor and reveal the plywood underneath. Therefore, sanding of engineered floors needs always a professional hand. Unlike the other timber floors and plywood floors, engineered floors can be sanded whenever scratches and stains appear. People who are thinking of remodelling their floors should give this modern method of flooring a serious thought. This will bring back the shine of their lack lustre floors adding a new dimension to the interior of their drawing rooms and living areas.
The interesting thing is that this kind of flooring gives the impression that the floor is made up of pure hard board wooden planks which is much more expensive than Engineered Flooring.
