ENGINEERED WOOD
Engineered wood is real wood, but instead of one solid piece it consists of three to
10 thin layers of wood, called plies, that are assembled and glued in a cross-ply
construction.
The top layer of wood can range from 0.6mm to 6mm thickness.
Overall board thickness ranges from 10mm to 21mm.
Engineered wood is much more stable than solid wood and is less susceptible to
shrinking and expanding with changes in temperatures and humidity.
Random Plank
Any wood flooring material 3" wide or more
is termed "plank flooring." Plank flooring is
available in both square edge and bevel
edge (V groove).
Parquet
Small pieces arranged in different designs
Pre-finished squares for easy installation
Herringbone
It is an elegant, upscale flooring style, most
often found in museums and high end homes.
This effect is generated by installing flooring
pieces of equal length, usually between 9 to 24
inches, at a 90 degree angle respectively, with
the ends cut at 90 degrees.
A chevron pattern is basically the same but
with a 45 degree cut corner where the boards
meet at a square angle.

INSTALLATION SYSTEMS
Tongue-and-groove: Tongueand-groove flooring can be
installed by
glue-down (both engineered
and solid),
floating (mostly engineered
only),
nail-down (not recommended
"for
CLICK"
SYSTEMS: A "click" floor is similar to tongue-and-groove, but
most engineered).
instead of fitting directly into the groove, the board must be angled or
"tapped" in to make the curved or barbed tongue fit into the modified
groove.
Floor connection
system: The general
principle is to have
grooves on all four
sides of the plank with
a separate,
unconnected, piece
that is inserted into
the grooves of two
planks to join them.
Glue Down
Wood flooring can also be glueddown.
A layer of plastic is placed onto the
sub-floor . The wood pieces are then
laid on top of the glue and hammered
into place using a rubber mallet and
nail.
