Commercial Engineered Flooring Fitters in London & Kent

Wooden flooring is highly sought after for many businesses, but it isn’t always possible to have solid wood flooring in every building. Engineered wood flooring is an excellent alternative to solid wood floors for any commercial space. It is incredibly versatile, making it ideal for locations where real wood flooring isn’t suitable, such as conservatories, basements and areas with underfloor heating. If you are considering wooden flooring for a shop, office, gym, restaurant or other business premises, engineered wood flooring could be the answer you have been looking for.

Engineered wood flooring is created using multiple layers of wood that are bonded together and topped with a layer of solid wood flooring. It is extremely popular for commercial use today because it is able to withstand much more than traditional real wood flooring. Walnut engineered wood flooring is a common choice, while oak wood flooring is also used a lot for workshop flooring and other areas requiring durability and hardwearing floors.

The walnut or oak top layer is bonded together with layers of wood which work as a base layer underneath. The top layer, known as the wear layer, must be over 2mm thick for engineered wood flooring, as less than this is considered veneered wood flooring.

More and more people are choosing engineered wood flooring over real wood flooring for their homes because of the range of benefits they offer;

• Cost-Effective: Walnut engineered wood flooring is often much more cost-effective than solid wood flooring. This is because it only requires at least 2mm of hardwood for the wear layer, and the lower layers use other wood bonded together, which keeps the costs down. Installation can also be much easier than with real wood flooring, which also helps engineered wood flooring to be more cost-effective.
• High-Quality Finish: Although engineered wood flooring is not solid wood, it still looks extremely high quality for your business. Once walnut engineered wood flooring has been installed, it is very difficult to tell it apart from solid wood flooring. This is because of the top layer of real hardwood, which looks the same as hardwood flooring. Engineered wood flooring can also be sanded and sealed in the same way as real wood flooring.
• Versatile: One of the biggest advantages of engineered wood flooring for businesses is how versatile it can be. Solid wood flooring often can’t be fitted in many business premises because of underfloor heating or other reasons. Engineered wood flooring can be installed in almost any business premises thanks to its versatility.
