Why engineered floorboards?
Engineered floorboards are the latest technology in timber flooring, combining a real hard timber surface layer with multi-plywood sub-layers of thinly cut hardwood and softwood plantation timbers. These multi-plywood layers are glued in multiple directions provide superior strength, rigidity, and stability of the top layer of solid timber. The result is a superior strength floor board:
-
That can typically be made wider and longer than solid boards,
-
Has the same or thicker "wear" (sanding layer) than solid floor boards,
-
That predominantly consists of plantation timbers which is positive for our environment,
-
Is more affordable as more planks can be produced from hardwood sources, and
-
Is more resistant to moisture effects.
The benefits of European Oak
European Oak (also known as "French Oak") is a high density timber providing superior strength and wear properties. It can be cut accurately, drilled and glued making it easier to work with. See this article on Why Engineered European Oak flooring?

Some considerations when ordering your floorboards
Ensure you order everything you need to complete your flooring project. Make sure you order enough coverage and get all the extras (such as underlay, stair nosing, scotia) you need at once. We will deliver it all with your floorboards. We recommend you consider the following:
What coverage do you need? Calculate the floor surface area required in square metres. Include doorways and stairways. Add up to 10% as a buffer for wastage and to allow you to stagger board lengths efficiently.
Do you want underlay? Laying premium underlay can provide important benefits: subfloor protection, smooth out minor sub-floor imperfections, tread cushioning, moisture barrier, and acoustic abatement.
Need stair bull noses? Architecturally designed solid oak stair nosing is your best choice - available in all the Moku finishes. This is only available to be purchased with a floor board order. See more details here.
Need scotia (edging/moulding)? Use scotia edging trims to cover perimeter expansion gaps along skirting boards, walls, kitchen kickboards and cabinets. Available in all the Moku finishes. See more details here.
Installation of engineered floorboards is easy
Installation of these floorboards is easier than you think. They can be installed as a floating floor over suitable underlay, or installed using the direct stick (glued down) method. Preparation and having the right tools is the key. The tongue and groove system ensures your floor boards are accurately installed. We recommend joins are glued with a flexible premium hardwood PVA adhesive.
