Thickness
The combination of a true natural wood finish with the strength and resistance to warping of manufactured materials makes engineered wood flooring a popular option. Once you've chosen the type of wood you want and given some consideration to colours, finishes and patterns, it's time to decide the thickness you need for your new floor.
One of the benefits of engineered wood flooring is that it can be used with underfloor heating, but to do so it's important to use the right thickness, and it's recommended that you stick to thinner timber for efficient and reliable underfloor heating. Other things to consider when it comes to thickness are whether or not the wood needs to be fitted directly to joists or battens, and how much foot traffic is likely in the room. Thicker boards are also useful to compensate for uneven subfloors.
