Frequently Asked Questions

Is engineered flooring suitable for radiant heating?

Yes. Engineered construction handles temperature and humidity changes better than solid wood, making it generally well suited to radiant heating systems. Always confirm with the product's specifications.

How is engineered flooring installed?

Depending on the product it can be floated, glued down or nailed down over a suitable, level subfloor. Always follow the official installation guide supplied with your purchase.

Can engineered floors be refinished?

Light refinishing is possible depending on the thickness of the wear layer. Our engineered products feature a substantial top layer for added longevity.
