Frequently Asked Questions
Is engineered wood flooring a good choice for a conservatory?
Yes, engineered wood flooring is one of the best real wood options for a conservatory. Its layered construction provides greater stability, making it more resistant to the extreme temperature and humidity changes that can occur in these sun-filled rooms. This prevents issues like warping and gapping, which can affect solid wood floors.
How do I protect my engineered wood conservatory floor from sunlight?
Direct, prolonged sunlight can cause any wood floor to fade over time. To protect your engineered wood floor, consider using blinds, curtains, or UV-protective window films to filter the light. Choosing a finish with UV protection and ensuring the floor is properly maintained can also help preserve its colour and appearance.
Can engineered wood be sanded and refinished if it gets damaged?
Yes, one of the key benefits of engineered wood is that it can be sanded and refinished to restore its appearance. The number of times it can be done depends on the thickness of the real wood top layer. A thicker wear layer, like those on high-quality products from brands such as V4 and Kahrs, can be sanded several times, giving the floor a very long lifespan.
