What is engineered timber flooring?
Engineered timber floors are formed by joining multiple layers of real wood to create a single floor board. The boards consist of a layer of natural solid wood, topped over layers of pine/ply or other species of wood beneath the tongue.
The term “engineered” does not mean the wood is synthetic. Laminate flooring, which is made from rubber, plastic or other synthetics, can be made to imitate the appearance of timber flooring. Engineered timber flooring is real wood, but the board itself has been manufactured out of different types of timber to give it durability, ideal in the volatile Australian climate. See example below:
Engineered timber flooring has a top wooden layer, then the middle and bottom layers are planks of wood glued together with each layers' grain running in a different direction. This helps keep the engineered timber plank stable so that it can better withstand fluctuations in in climate.
What are the benefits of specifying engineered timber flooring?
There are a range of benefits that engineered timber flooring can offer both commercial and residential new build or renovation projects:
- Long-lasting: Engineered timber is well-known for its durability, which means it’s a much more cost-effective investment than various other surfaces.
- Stable and durable: Engineered timber flooring planks are more stable and can withstand harsh weather conditions due to the way it’s designed making it a key choice for underfloor heating.
- Versatile: Engineered wood floors can be seamlessly incorporated into a range of design styles and environments, which means designers and trade will please many clients by specifying engineered timber products.
- Aesthetics: The warm aesthetic appeal of engineered timber floor boards will create a design talking point in your space.
- Eco-friendly: The timber manufacturing process uses less resources than other materials. Engineered timber boards are produced using only one layer of solid wood, which means one tree can be used to produce many more engineered timber floor boards than it could produce solid planks.
- Cost-effective: Particularly relevant for larger commercial projects, or open residential floor plans, engineered timber floors usually cost less than solid hardwood floors.

Does engineered timber flooring scratch easily?
Engineered timber flooring is less susceptible to scratches than solid wood flooring and that’s because it is cured with a protective top layer.
The type of finish applied to your engineered timber floor should be a key consideration especially if scratch resistance is an important factor for you. Speak with a Havwoods consultant for more information on which finishes are suitable for your particular project and requirements.
Is engineered timber flooring pet friendly?
Yes, engineered timber flooring is pet friendly and that’s because most engineered timber flooring is cured with a protective top coat. However, it’s always best to ensure you are taking care of your engineered timber flooring with regular maintenance to keep it in good condition for as long as possible.
Is Engineered Wood Waterproof?
While engineered timber floors aren’t waterproof, the layered design of engineered floorboards has proven to be much more resistant to moisture than solid wood floors.
