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.
What does engineered wood actually cost in Rainham?
Most Rainham 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.
How long does a Rainham engineered wood fit take?
A typical 30m² room in Rainham is around 3 days including acclimatisation, prep, fitting and trim. Herringbone takes longer.
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.
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.
