Solid hardwood is milled from a single, solid piece of timber. Engineered wood features a top wear layer of genuine hardwood veneer bonded over multiple cross-laminated plywood layers. Engineered wood is significantly more dimensionally stable in humid tropical climates, meaning it resists expansion and contraction far better than solid timber.
Timber is a hygroscopic natural material that absorbs and releases moisture depending on ambient relative humidity. Before installation, we test concrete moisture and require timber boards to sit in the climate-controlled installation room for at least 48 to 72 hours to prevent cupping or gapping after installation.
Yes. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Premium engineered wood floors with a 3mm to 4mm real timber top veneer can be sanded and re-lacquered 3 to 4 times, giving the floor a multi-generational lifespan of 30 to 50+ years.
Yes. Through our Underfoot Guarantee, our master joiners and fitters handle full subfloor testing, leveling, elastic adhesive bonding, secret nailing, sanding, and polyurethane application for timber purchased from any supplier.
