Engineered Wood Flooring

The advantage of engineered wood flooring is that it is stable, readily available and economical.

There are various ways to make engineered wood flooring, but the main technique are lamella on ply, or three-layer using a cross-ply layer in the middle of the sandwich. At Ecquality we normally prefer lamella on ply because plywood is a very stable substrate.

Engineered comes in a range of standard sizes, but special sizes are also possible if time and budget allow. Normal widths are 90, 120, 150, 190, 220, 240, 260 and 280mm* with thickness being quite flexible, within technical constraints. For example it is not advisable to apply a thick lamella to a thin base as this is likely to distort. Common overall thicknesses are 15, 18 and 20mm, with the top layers most being 2 or 4mm, but with 6mm available given time and budget. (Until the year 2000 six mm top layers were very standard, but today they are not as readily available in the market simply because demand is mostly for the thinner material.)

We supply a wide range of sizes and grades, and we specialise in bespoke colours and finishes that larger factories are not equipped to provide.
