Professional Engineered Wood Floor Restoration in Highgate

Engineered wood is a popular choice nowadays and this is the goal, of being a modern manufactured product. This product is created to imitate hardwood and unlike laminate, for example, it is made completely from natural lumber products, which makes it the best substitute for solid wood and in many aspects even better choice than solid wood. Engineered wood is the contemporary alternative for real wood floors, made from several layers of lumber, glued together and topped with a wooden layer from various wood species, used also for hardwood floors.

So engineered wood is conceived as a more durable, solid and long-lasting product, promising more longevity of the construction, while looking authentic, providing diversity and being easy to maintain, install, and treat. Well yes, engineered wood, such as solid wood, tends to start to look worn, distressed and discoloured with time and this has nothing to do, most of the time, with your cleaning routine and is connected with the traces of everyday use and high traffic leave on the surface and into the whole structure. And since solid wood can be treated by sanding, it is the same as engineered wood. However, sanding engineered flooring doesn't have the same method and requires extra experience and knowledge, which we can guarantee for every Highgate client hiring us.

Unlike hardwood, engineered flooring can be sanded only once or twice, so no unsuccessful attempts are allowed here.

Sanding is an essential treatment for every type of wood installation, however, sometimes it is just not enough. If the floor is in really poor condition, there are loose planks and nails, worn wood adhesive with no power, squeaky patches, deep scratches and gaps, sanding has to be preceded by repairs and restoration to create a sturdy solid base. When the whole construction is sturdy enough to serve you for decades, we are ready to start with the sanding procedure. Unlike hardwood, engineered has a really thin layer, which we have to deal with and there is a big chance the heavy-duty machines to strip off the whole top layer. If the floor is already sanded or with a thick top layer, additional sanding is not recommended. Otherwise, the goal when treating is to remove the worn finish top layer and if the surface of the wood underneath is too scratched – the distressed layer. Right after, when the pores of the wood are already open, it is the right time for sealing, because the finishing products can be applied successfully and staining. After all, every imperfection is smoothed out and the colour pigments won’t highlight them.
