    What is Engineered Timber Flooring

    Find out all there is to know about engineered timber and what makes this flooring so special

    Why Choose Engineered Timber Flooring?

    Engineered timber flooring combines the natural beauty of real timber with enhanced stability and durability for modern Australian homes.

    Made with a genuine timber top layer over a strong multi layer core, it is designed to reduce expansion, contraction and warping compared to solid timber flooring.

    Beautiful, durable and easy to install, engineered timber offers the authentic look and feel of natural wood with practical everyday performance, making it a stylish and cost effective flooring choice.

    Engineered Construction

    Embelton Flooring have engineered timber products available in a selection of timber veneers, or face layers. Ranging from 0.6 to 4mm, there’s an appropriate flooring solution for every home, lifestyle and budget.

    Layered on top of a multi-level wood core, the 3mm timber veneer of our 14mm thick engineered timber can be re-sanded and coated approximately twice, with each sanding removing 1mm. This is the same for our striking Herringbone boards, while at 15mm, wideboard timber floorboards feature a hardy 4mm surface veneer that can be re-sanded approximately three times.

    Is Engineered Timber flooring waterproof?

    No, it is not completely waterproof however, due to its layers, it works better with water than solid hardwood timber.

    Can Engineered Timber be sanded/repolished like solid timber flooring?

    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. 

    Can I install Herringbone Timber flooring myself?

    We recommend that you hire a professional installer for Herringbone flooring due to the more complex board pattern and detail required for install.
