Engineered wood questions from Canterbury customers
What does engineered wood actually cost in Canterbury?
Most Canterbury engineered wood jobs price by room — typical mid-size rooms come in at a known range, but prep on older properties is where the variation comes in. Our survey itemises both, so the headline figure includes everything we'd actually do.
Oiled or lacquered finish?
Lacquered is lower maintenance and very hard wearing. Oiled looks softer, ages beautifully and any deep scratches can be spot-repaired without refinishing the whole floor.
Can you supply samples?
Yes — sample boards are brought to your Canterbury address at the survey, and we keep a board library in our Gillingham warehouse.
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.
How long does a Canterbury engineered wood fit take?
A typical 30m² room in Canterbury is around 3 days including acclimatisation, prep, fitting and trim. Herringbone takes longer.
