Engineered Oak Flooring

Engineered oak flooring comprises a multi-layered flooring product that holds several advantages over some solid timber options. With these products, only the top layer, known as the veneer, is the expensive premium wood. With quality engineered products, this top layer is still quite thick to allow for refinishing in years and decades to come.

It might at first sound that this type of flooring is a ‘cheap alternative’ to solid timber floors. But that’s really not the case.

The layers of timber are glued together with their grains facing in different directions, which helps your new floor resist high-moisture environments and variable heating conditions more effectively than many solid timbers available on the market.

As well, it helps preserve the timber stocks of slow-growing trees suc as oak, which is the most popular of the engineered timbers.

Be warned, some manufacturers use cheap or weak materials to build their engineered hardwood flooring. When you purchase through Know-How, you’ll be comforted by the knowledge that the engineered oak we provide is extremely robust, durable, and excellent value for money.

Another benefit of Engineered Oak Flooring is that it is incredibly versatile and easy to stain. There are an enormous number of visual styles possible with a quality engineered oak flooring product. It can be light and bright. Or it can be rich and luxurious, such as this project we completed in Potts Point, or in this project for an apartment in the Sydney CBD. Whichever look you are hoping to achieve, there is an engineered oak flooring product that will help you succeed.

There are also some excellent effects that can be achieved with parquetry.

We used engineered oak flooring to achieve this effect in this property in Bellevue Hill. We also used engineered oak flooring in this property in Drummoyne, this time using a Herringbone pattern.
