ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING DERBY

Derbushire Flooring Specialist offer two types of premium flooring options: solid wood and engineered hardwood. While they share some similarities, they have distinct characteristics. Solid wood floors tend to be more substantial in thickness, which makes them heavier and requires a longer installation process. However, their added strength makes them well-suited for high-traffic areas, giving them an advantage over engineered hardwood floors in terms of durability.

Constructed from multiple layers of plywood or alternative materials, engineered flooring is created through a high-pressure bonding process. While it offers a diverse range of aesthetic options, its cost tends to surpass that of traditional hardwood flooring.

Compared to solid wood floors, engineered hardwood floors are generally more slender and adaptable, making them ideal for fitting around bulky furniture pieces like built-in closets. Additionally, their lighter weight makes them a great choice for smaller, more intimate spaces. Many homeowners opt for engineered hardwood floors to make a bold statement about their interior style. They're also a popular pick for creating expansive, open-plan living areas that are truly show-stopping. If you're unsure whether engineered hardwood floors are the right fit for your space, simply arrange a no obligation consultation so we can help you decide on the perfect option to meet your unique needs.

  • How do you properly clean and maintain ceramic floor tiles?

    Properly cleaning and maintaining a hardwood floor involves several steps. Firstly, it is important to regularly sweep or vacuum the floor to remove any dirt and debris that could scratch the surface. Next, use a damp mop with a hardwood floor cleaner to wipe down the floor, being careful not to use too much water as it can damage the wood. It is also recommended to regularly polish and refinish the floor to keep it looking shiny and new. Additionally, placing rugs or mats in high-traffic areas can help protect the wood from wear and tear. Finally, be mindful of any spills and clean them up immediately to prevent damage to the floor. By following these steps, you can ensure your hardwood floor remains in good condition for years to come.

  • What are the benefits of hardwood flooring?

    Hardwood flooring has many benefits that make it a popular choice for homeowners. Firstly, hardwood floors are durable and long-lasting, often lasting for decades with proper care. Hardwood flooring is also versatile in terms of design, as it can be sanded and refinished multiple times to change its appearance. Additionally, hardwood floors add value to a home and are considered a more high-end option compared to other types of flooring. Lastly, hardwood floors are a healthier option as they do not trap dust, pet dander, or other allergens like a carpet can.

  • What are the different types of hardwood flooring available?

    There are several different types of hardwood flooring available, including oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and walnut. Oak is one of the most popular choices due to its durability and versatility, while maple offers a light and smooth appearance. Cherry hardwood flooring is known for its rich, reddish-brown colour and elegant look. Hickory is another popular choice for its strength and unique grain patterns. Walnut hardwood flooring is prized for its rich, dark colour and luxurious appearance. Each type of hardwood flooring offers a unique look and feel, so it's important to consider the aesthetics and durability of each option before making a decision.

  • Should hardwood flooring be installed in bathrooms or kitchens?

    While hardwood flooring is a popular choice for many areas of the home, it is generally not recommended for bathrooms or kitchens. Hardwood flooring is not water-resistant, and the high moisture levels and potential for spills in these areas can cause the wood to warp, expand, or even rot over time. Additionally, hardwood flooring does not handle temperature changes well, which can also be an issue in rooms like the kitchen where heat fluctuations can occur. For these reasons, it is better to choose a more suitable flooring option such as floor tiles, LVT, or laminate for bathrooms and kitchens all of which are available with a wood effect design.

  • How long does solid wood flooring typically last?

    Solid wood flooring typically lasts for a long time, with a lifespan of about 25 to 100 years, depending on the type of wood, the installation quality, and the maintenance level. Some hardwood floors can even last longer with proper care and upkeep. Regular cleaning, refinishing when needed, and avoiding excessive moisture or wear and tear can help prolong the lifespan of hardwood flooring. Choosing a high-quality hardwood and professional installation, as offered by ourselves, will also contribute to its longevity.
