Solid Wood & Veneer Essentials - Technical Helpline - 01276 410200

Veneer

Each engineered wood board consists of three or four layers of real wood, which are fixed together in a cross-ply construction. This means that it is more stable than one solid piece of real wood, and will with stand varying temperatures more effectively than solid wood. Typically the real wood veneer on the top is around 14mm thick. Our engineered wood flooring comes in a range of lacquered, oiled and hand scraped finishes.
