Our journey is built on a foundation of respect for nature and a passion for craftsmanship.

Engineered Oak Flooring

Our engineered oak flooring is made from multiple layers of wood. The top layer consists of solid oak, while the underneath consists of multiple layers, each stuck in opposing directions, which make up a multi-laminate plywood core. This creates not only a more affordable option, but one that is more stable and reliable than solid oak and, just as importantly, looks as beautiful and can last as long.

Benefits of Choosing Engineered Wood Flooring

When it comes to selecting the right flooring for your home, the options can be overwhelming. Among the myriads of choices, engineered wood flooring stands out as an excellent option for homeowners who desire the timeless beauty of wood without some of the drawbacks associated with traditional hardwood floors. We will explore the benefits of choosing engineered wood flooring and why it might be the perfect fit for your home.

  1. Durability and Stability
    One of the most significant advantages of engineered wood flooring is its durability and stability. The layered construction of engineered wood, provides resistance to changes in temperature and humidity, which can cause solid wood to warp and expand. This makes engineered wood a more suitable choice for areas in your home that might experience fluctuating temperatures, such as basements or kitchens.
  2. Aesthetic Appeal
    Engineered wood flooring offers the same aesthetic appeal as traditional Oggie hardwood floors. The top layer, being real wood, provides the natural beauty and warmth of wood that many homeowners love and seek. Engineered wood offers a wide variety of styles and finishes to match any interior design. Pop into any Oggie showroom to experience the variety of French Oak flooring options.
  3. Easy Installation
    Engineered wood flooring is designed to be easier to install than solid hardwood. It can be installed as a floating floor, which means it doesn’t need to be nailed or glued to the subfloor. This makes installation quicker and more cost-effective and allows for installation over a variety of subfloors, including concrete.
  4. Cost-Effective
    Compared to solid hardwood flooring, engineered wood is usually more affordable. Its layered construction below the groove uses less of the really expensive top-layer wood and reduces the costs. Additionally, being tongue and groove, the ease of installation can save on labour time and costs, making engineered wood a budget-friendly option without compromising on quality of the appearance.
  5. Eco-Friendly Choice
    Engineered wood flooring is an environmentally friendly option. Since it uses less of the slow-growing hardwood, it can conserve these natural resources. Many wood manufacturers source their wood from sustainable forests and employ eco-friendly practices in the production process, so engineered wood ticks all the boxes as a responsible choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.

Why Should You Choose Engineered Hardwood Flooring?

Engineered hardwood is one of the most popular flooring products on the market today because it offers the opportunity to get the look and feel of real wood floors but at a more affordable price point. While vinyl and laminate floors do a top-notch job of mimicking real wood floors, close inspection will reveal that they’re both synthetic materials. But the top layer of engineered wood flooring is a slice of real hardwood, ensuring that every plank is unique and feels just like real wood. This top layer is available in a variety of wood species, and can even be produced with optional hand-scraped, wire-brushed, or distressed finishes.

Installing engineered wood floors also brings practical benefits to your home. Unlike real wood, engineered hardwood can be installed over concrete slab subfloors, and even used below grade. Because its durable core is made from a composite material, engineered wood floors are less affected by fluctuations in temperature or moisture, making them a safer choice for those who live in humid environments. And engineered hardwood flooring is often quieter than real wood, which can be a welcome benefit in busy homes.
