TLC Flooring offers a wide range of Engineered Wood Flooring, also known as Hardwood flooring, for residential and commercial use.
What is Engineered Wood Flooring?
Engineered Wood Flooring is real wood, constructed in layers and bonded together. The top hardwood layer exhibits all the aesthetic qualities and inherent beauty of the chosen wood species, like any true wood floor. Each piece of hardwood is unique due to the variance in wood grain and colour, depending on the species of wood used, adding character and personality.
There are many advantages in choosing Engineered Wood Flooring, being more stable and not expanding or contracting as much as other wood flooring; coupled with the benefit of its sustainability, without any serious impact on the environment.

What type of finish should I choose?
There are typically two types of finish to choose from for your Engineered Wood Flooring – Lacquer Finish or Oiled Finish.
If you anticipate heavy traffic in the area with your Engineered Wood Flooring, then a lacquer finish would be ideal. A lacquered finish makes the floor more water resistant and easier to clean.
Lacquer comes in high gloss, gloss and matt finish options but it is important to note that with lacquer even the matt finish tends to have a bit of a shine to it which can show scratches more easily than an oiled finish.
Oiled wood flooring allows the wood to maintain a more natural appearance with the colour of the wood developing and deepening over time.
An oiled finish soaks deep into the wood, providing protection on the surface and into the core of the wood. If the top layer of oil gets worn away over time there is still a level of protection underneath, in contrast to a lacquer finish, which needs to be sanded and refinished when it starts to wear.
