Oak Floors Online: Choosing Between a Solid and Engineered Oak Wood Floor

Jan. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- When it comes to choosing the right wooden flooring for your home, many people find that oak wood is the best. Oak is easy to maintain, and can withstand the daily foot traffic. Some oak floors that were laid centuries ago are still in outstanding condition today, and will remain so in centuries to come.

But even when you’ve chosen to go with oak wood, the decision-making is not over. Next, you need to decide which type of oak flooring will be best for you; solid oak, or engineered?

There is one very simple difference between solid and engineered oak flooring. Solid flooring is made from one solid plank of oak wood, whereas engineered flooring comprises of a thin layer of oak wood on top of a plywood base.

Each type of oak flooring has both its advantages and disadvantages. For example, as engineered oak wood is bonded together under heat and pressure, it is less likely to be affected by changes in humidity, unlike solid wood. However, engineered oak flooring can be more expensive than solid oak.

Whichever type of oak flooring you choose for your home, it is important that you buy from the right supplier. Oak Floors Online specialise in top quality oak flooring and prides itself on over-delivering when it comes to customer service and quality of product.

What’s more, Oak Floors Online are the only retailers in the UK to offer a lifetime quality guarantee on all of their oak floors.
