Engineered wood questions from Rainham customers
Is engineered wood the same as solid wood?
It has the same real-wood top layer but a stable plywood core underneath, which is why it handles modern heated subfloors and humidity changes far better than solid wood.
Can the floor be refinished later?
Yes — most quality engineered boards can be sanded back and refinished 1-3 times depending on wear-layer thickness.
Will engineered wood work over underfloor heating?
Yes — engineered wood is the recommended real-wood option over UFH. We glue down and commission the heating gradually to avoid any board movement.
How quickly can you survey in Rainham?
Most Rainham surveys are booked within 48 hours of your enquiry. We cover all of the ME8 district from our local warehouse.
