Engineered timber flooring is a type of flooring that combines a thin layer of natural hardwood on top with a core made of plywood or other engineered materials, which makes it more stable and durable than solid hardwood flooring.

• Layers: The top layer is made of real hardwood, usually 3–6 mm thick, which gives it the appearance and feel of solid timber flooring. The core is typically made of multiple layers of plywood, which provides stability and durability.
• Stability: Engineered timber flooring is more resistant to moisture and temperature changes compared to solid hardwood flooring. This makes it suitable for areas like basements and kitchens.
• Appearance: Engineered timber flooring has the same look and feel as solid timber, but it's more cost-effective.
• Installation: It's easier to install than solid hardwood flooring because it can be floated over most existing floors, and it doesn't require nailing or gluing to the subfloor.
• Sustainability: Since it uses less hardwood than solid timber flooring, it's considered a more environmentally friendly option.
• Maintenance: Engineered timber flooring is usually prefinished, so it doesn't need to be sanded, polished, or varnished after installation. It can also be refinished multiple times.
• Cost: Engineered timber flooring is generally more affordable than solid hardwood flooring, making it a popular choice for many homeowners.
