Most types of engineered wood flooring have at least three layers beneath the hardwood veneer.
Top layer wood flooring.
Even if the stairs are fully finished you can get an approximate reading of the stairs thickness by measuring the distance from the top of the riser to the top of the finish flooring.
Most of the flooring from harris wood has a top layer of around 2mm which makes it a good option if you re on a tight budget but still want a floor that will last a while.
Sometimes the top of a staircase has an unfinished opening that permits a cross section view of the entire floor.
Fitting was relatively easy but you definately need 2 people and a 3rd on standby to help out for a standard 4x4 room to elaborate you need to fit each.
Some options have as many as five to seven layers.
Laminate is cheaper when bought in bulk though which is a consideration factor.
Complete with the texture feeling and strength of an actual hardwood floor.
Rated 4 out of 5 by ak100 from good value for money i fitted the flooring last month and looks good although at first glance it doesnt really look much different from laminate i would have wanted more of the real wood top layer effect.
Made from three different layers including a solid oak top layer this flooring is incredibly hardwearing and stable.
A smooth veneered top layer of solid wood is bonded to under core base layers to offer advanced stability and resistant properties over those of solid wood flooring.
The top layer though is actual hardwood.
Made up of layers of ply topped with a solid wood lamella or top layer engineered wood flooring is highly resistant to expansion and contraction even when exposed to pretty extreme fluctuations in temperature and moisture.
More layers provides greater stability.
How thick is the hardwood veneer.
This innovative technology makes engineered flooring an excellent option for areas where temperature and humidity changes often occur such as your kitchen conservatory or basement.
Retailing from around 2 90 per square foot harris wood flooring is a good mid range choice.
However the end result is less than impressive when compared to a real wood floor.
