What our happy customers say about timber flooring.
No, it is not waterproof however, due to its layers, it works better with water than solid hardwood timber.
Yes, Engineered timber floors can be sanded down and refurbished in their lifetime. However, how many times this can be done depends on the thickness of the solid timber veneer. Most of our engineered timber boards are safe to sand one to three times. Our 12mm Engineered European Oak range should not be sanded.
We recommend that you hire a professional installer for Herringbone flooring due to the more complex board pattern and detail required for install.
