What are the downsides of engineered wood flooring?
While engineered wood flooring offers beauty and versatility, it does come with a few notable drawbacks:
The top veneer layer is thin, which limits the number of times it can be sanded and refinished.
It’s not fully waterproof—prolonged exposure to moisture can cause warping, swelling, or buckling.
Sunlight exposure over time may lead to fading or discolouration. Despite these cons, proper care and a controlled environment can help minimise risks and extend its lifespan.
