go green with our sustainable timber solutions.

Over the past few decades, engineered timber flooring has gained immense popularity due to its appealing aesthetic value and sustainable qualities. In contrast to solid timber flooring which is made entirely of wood, engineered timber flooring features a solid wood veneer layer bonded to a high-density fibreboard (HDF) or plywood core. This requires much less wood, whilst still giving you that classic, natural wooden feel.

The benefits of sustainable timber flooring

  1. Helps Preserve Forests
    Engineered timber flooring significantly contributes to forest preservation. By using a thin layer of solid wood veneer over an HDF or plywood core, the demand for solid wood reduces, which eases the pressure on natural forests. Some forests are often overexploited to cater to the high demand for solid wood, which is reduced by engineered timber flooring.
  2. Durable and Long-Lasting
    Engineered timber flooring is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for homeowners. Its ability to withstand the general hustle and bustle of family life means that it requires less maintenance and replacement over time. This leads to a reduction in waste created by throwing out old floorboards.
  3. Reduced Carbon Footprint
    Compared to other flooring materials such as ceramic tiles, concrete or carpet, engineered timber flooring has a much lower carbon footprint. It requires fewer resources and energy consumption during production, leading to reduced carbon emissions.
  4. Sustainable Forest Management
    Our engineered hardwood flooring manufacturers source their wood from sustainably managed forests, where the ecosystem is carefully monitored and managed to ensure that it’s not overexploited. Sustainable forests are vital for ecological balance, ensuring that we have enough resources to cater for everyone.
  5. Recyclable and Biodegradable
    At the end of its life cycle, engineered timber flooring will either become recyclable or biodegradable. This reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. The solid wood veneer layer can be recycled or repurposed to create something new, whilst the HDF or plywood core can be utilised as a renewable fuel source.
