Timber flooring is a timeless, classic choice that people all over Aotearoa and the world enjoy every day. It looks incredible, feels nice to the touch and is very durable. Basically, it has everything you want from a top-notch floor. So, you may be interested to know that there’s a special kind of timber flooring that could be perfect for your property - engineered timber flooring. ​

This kind of flooring is an innovative, smart choice for many reasons. It’s beneficial for you because it’s durable and beautiful, and it’s great for the environment due to its eco-friendly properties.

You can enjoy the many advantageous qualities of this amazing kind of flooring if you choose to purchase your new floors from reliable sellers like us at Quality Floors.

But before you order your new floors, it’s imperative that you understand why they’re such a smart choice. 

​What Is This Type Of Flooring?

Engineered timber flooring is a gorgeous type of wooden flooring that uses a very innovative design. Instead of being only solid planks of wood, this flooring is made from a combination of layers.

The top layer of the flooring is made of solid timber, which gives it its natural beauty and durability. The lower layers, on the other hand, are made of engineered wood. These lower layers give the flooring its reliable strength and stability.

All of the layers of the flooring work together to create a beautiful, versatile flooring option that can be used in practically any kind of property. It perfectly balances the magnificent aesthetics of solid timber with the stability of engineered wood. 

Solid timber is gorgeous and classic, but it’s not as stable as engineered wood. Engineered wood is very practical and stable, but most would say it’s not as beautiful as solid wood. So with engineered timber flooring, you get the best of both worlds.

People love this type of flooring due to its beauty and versatility. It’s suitable for residential and commercial spaces and is sure to make any property more sophisticated.

​How Is This Timber Flooring A Sustainable Choice?

Timber floors, in general, are an excellent choice for anyone who prefers eco-friendly options because timber is a renewable resource. Wood is a fully natural material that can be replanted over and over to produce a large amount of materials sustainably.

Therefore, engineered timber flooring is a smart, sustainable choice because:

The Materials Can Be Sustainably Sourced. Anyone who wants flooring made from sustainably-sourced materials will be thrilled to learn that we at Quality Floors tick all the green boxes. We value quality and beauty, but we also value the environment. We only use materials that are from certified sustainable sources.

Engineered timber floors also use less wood than solid wood flooring tends to use, meaning it makes good use of its materials and doesn’t waste any timber. 

It Has A Long Lifespan. Products that last for a long time do not need to be replaced or thrown out very often. This means that there will be less need to create more replacements for your flooring, and thus fewer materials will be used, and fewer emissions will be produced. 

This perk is great for the world, but it’s also great for you. You’ll be able to enjoy your amazing new floors for many, many years without worrying about buying and installing entirely new floors. 

Your timber floors will last longer if you maintain them well. Luckily, timber flooring is very easy to take care of. Please make sure you routinely sweep or wipe your floors to keep them clean. To further protect your floors from scuffs or marks, you can use furniture pads or floor protectors to prevent your furniture from scratching your floors.

It Can Be Recycled. When you eventually do need to replace your engineered timber flooring, far in the future, the wood in your floors can be recycled. Wood is a material that can usually be recycled and reused in other products. It may also be repurposed.

Every time you recycle a product, the materials that are recycled eliminate the need to harvest raw materials from the earth. Less new trees will need to be cut down, that timber won’t need to be processed or transported, and overall, there will be fewer emissions produced.
