Sandringham Grand Estate Engineered Wood Flooring
Our Sandringham Grand Estate engineered oak benefits from a slightly wider board width of 150mm, however, it still retains the same dimensions as the rest of our Sandringham collection. The 14mm thickness is constructed with two different materials, firstly a compressed layer of plywood and secondly a solid oak veneer.
The plywood is compressed and bonded to give a robust base to the flooring, this helps with durability and increases the amount of foot traffic a floor can withstand. This plywood layer is 11mm thick and means that the floors should be installed in areas that see low to moderate foot traffic. The 3mm wear layer of solid oak is placed on top and this is how engineered oak flooring is manufactured.
The Grand Estate has a 4V groove, micro bevelled edge that highlights the edges of all four sides of each individual plank. This high-class finish ensures that each board is defined to show its own character; it's also considered to be more a traditional appearance for hardwood flooring. A micro bevelled edge is more forgiving on a sub-floor that isn’t completely level and is therefore a much better option for older properties.
Unrivalled Value
Engineered wood flooring is becoming increasingly popular due to the fact it’s becoming a lot more cost effective and hard wearing. The major benefit with engineered oak is that it is not as susceptible to movement against temperature changes or fluctuations in humidity. This means the straight planks can be installed in various different parts of the house, not just the living room.
As house building has become more technologically advanced we have seen the introduction of underfloor heating, sunrooms and conservatories. In the past these spaces would not have been considered suitable for hardwood flooring due their amounts of direct sunlight and moisture levels.
Lacquered Engineered Wood Flooring
The lacquered finish on the Sandringham Grand Estate provides a secure layer of protection against splashes and spillages that may occur. The smooth surface means that dust and dirt cannot get trapped within the grains, making this floor extremely easy to preserve and maintain.
