  • Fumed finish – Darkens the wood to emphasize knots and texture.
  • Varnish finish – Provides a protective layer for increased durability.
  • Matt finish – Offers a smooth, non-glossy surface.
  • Whitewashing – Creates white hardwood floors while preserving the wood’s natural grain.
  • Staining – Deepens the wood’s grain for a rich, bold look.
  • Tumbled edge – Gives a distressed, aged appearance to new flooring.

While many homeowners opt for traditional straight planks, engineered hardwood flooring can also be installed in stylish patterns like herringbone and 3-strip, adding character to any space.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an engineered wood floor last?
Engineered wood flooring can last up to 20 to 100 years.
What is the difference between engineered and solid wood flooring?
There are many differences between engineered and solid wood flooring, with both differing in longevity, durability, and wear and tear. Engineered wood floors are usually made from several layers of wood which are tightly pressed together. This will help give the floor some ‘give,’ and make it a lot more comfortable underfoot. Solid wood flooring on the other hand is cut from a single piece of timber which is then treated and sized before installation, meaning it will last a lot longer than engineered wood. As for durability, engineered wood is a lot more resilient due to the fact that it is able to deal with moisture better than solid wood flooring, which can shrink in hot, dry environments, or will contain moisture and expand in cold environments. Wear and tear can exist in any kind of flooring, including engineered and solid wood flooring. Engineered wood can have more ‘bounce’ and comfort, but surface scratches can be difficult to deal with due to its ‘layering’ formation, as it can’t be repeatedly sanded down. Solid wood, on the other hand, can be sanded down and resurfaced multiple times over the course of a lifetime.
