Frequently Asked Questions
Is engineered wood a good choice for a hallway?
Yes, engineered wood is an excellent choice for a hallway. Its durability, stability, and beautiful appearance make it a popular option for this high-traffic area. It offers the warmth of real wood and can withstand the daily use of a family home while creating a sophisticated and inviting first impression.
How do I protect my engineered wood hallway floor from damage?
To protect your engineered wood hallway floor, it is highly recommended to use a doormat at the entrance to trap dirt and grit. You should also ensure that the floor is properly installed and sealed to prevent moisture from seeping into the planks. Regular sweeping or vacuuming will also help prevent scratches from small debris.
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.
