Engineered wood is a beautiful, durable, and highly stable option for many households and commercial environments. Thanks to its specific and advanced structure, it is less prone to issues that often make the classic hardwood flooring experience wear and tear and moisture damages. In contrast, engineered wood floors can last for a long time without engaging you to deal with issues and stress about problems.
This, along with the fact that engineered wood floors can be installed in a few different ways and even in situations when solid wood floor fitting is not recommended, are the reasons why engineered wood is a common choice these days. And this project we have recently undertook, is yet another example to support this statement and add to the portfolio. A pretty straightforward and self-explanatory project, our customers wanted us to lift and dispose of the old hardwood flooring they have installed at their place years ago. In some similar cases, floor professionals opt for glueing or nailing down the new engineered wood floor directly onto the old wooden surface. In this case, we’ve decided this is not the best option as the hardwood floor was very aged, unstable, and particularly damaged by moisture and temperature fluctuations, which means it is not a lasting and solid base for the new floor.
