When you choose an engineered hardwood from Xpression Flooring, you’ll get the beautiful look of solid hardwood in a wider board. Engineered hardwood also has increased stability in more humid conditions, and it’s a more eco-friendly flooring option as well.
There are many reasons to choose white oak engineered hardwood flooring, including its timeless appeal, its versatility, and its durability
White oak is a timeless flooring option that can fit easily into any decor. From rustic to contemporary, this wood’s lighter grain and uniform look is the perfect backdrop for your furniture. White oak can be stained with a number of handsome finishes if you want a deeper colour.
If you love the look of 5” wide planks, then you’ll be glad to know that it’s an option with engineered hardwood. 5”, 6”, and 7” wide boards are becoming increasingly more popular.
Engineered hardwood is constructed of many layers of plywood, each glued in a separate direction and then pressurized. These layers provide a stable base for the thick layer of veneer that you see on top.
Too much humidity can cause any wood to bend or warp over time. Because of its multiple layers, engineered flooring is less susceptible to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
White oak flooring is extremely long lasting and tough, with a Janka rating of 1,360. That means it can stand up to heavy traffic from every member of your house, from pets cornering at high speeds to kids dropping toys.
Only engineered hardwood with a thicker layer of veneer can be refinished to enhance its longevity. Xpression stocks excellent quality engineered flooring that can be refinished if needed as the years pass.
Engineered hardwood flooring is easy to install. Floating engineered hardwood can be installed over many types of subfloors because the pieces fit together with the click-and-lock method. This results in engineered hardwood floating over the sub-floor rather than being nailed to it.
Engineered hardwood requires fewer trees, which is great for our environment.
