Specification:
Our Engineered Oak is constructed as a multilayer board,
consisting of a Solid Oak face or wear layer of either 4mm for
the 15mm board or 6mm for the 21mm board, with a quality plywood
backing that forms the T&G, and provides a good strong underside
suitable for installation by nailing, gluing or floating.
Our Engineered Boards do not have a softwood core and because of
this can be fitted using any of the 3 common methods; Glue Down,
Nail Down, or Float.
T&G 4 sides and End Matched
75% are 1830mm Long
Other lengths are 610mm, 915mm, and 1220mm for simple staggered
joint effect
Micro-bevelled 4 sides
Moisture Content: 8-12%
Because of this construction, Engineered
Oak Flooring offers greater stability than Solid Oak when
subjected to varying levels of heat, humidity, and moisture.
This stability allows the floor to be installed as a floating
floor where conditions permit, directly onto concrete or timber
subfloors, making it ideal for installation over an underlay
that can provide your floor with extra protection from possible
moisture attack from beneath.
Engineered Oak can also be fitted above underfloor heating when
the correct installation guidelines are followed and the
necessary levels of heat, humidity and moisture are maintained.
IMPORTANT:
Sometimes the plywood backed engineered
boards will seem as if they are ‘bent’ or ‘cupped’ from end to
end when they are first removed from the packaging. This is very
common with a plywood backed product because of the difference
in molecular structure of the solid oak face and the plywood
backing.
It is not a fault with the board and
should be expected. It does not cause any problems during
installation because of the required staggered joint fixing for
an oak floor. Obviously as each board is ‘surrounded’ when fixed
by at least another 4 boards it is straightened and aligned
perfectly every time. In fact, some fitters claim this actually
strengthens the floor further.
The picture below explains the staggered
joint installation appearance.
