💭 What is Bona QUANTUM™ R851 and Engineered Hardwood Flooring?
Bona QUANTUM™ R851 is a silane-based, adaptable wood floor adhesive with outstanding green-grab and easy application that doesn't cause fatigue.
Engineered hardwood flooring is constructed in layers, with the top and bottom being 100% wood and the core made with plywood. Different species of wood are used to make these planks, especially the top and bottom parts. The plywood used in the midsections consists of layers typically crisscrossed and bonded together.
The construction method makes engineered hardwood very strong and durable. It is less likely to shift once installed, even when the weather changes. It also makes the flooring suitable for areas that other materials are less likely to fit, such as the basement. The layering reduces the chances of the planks warping or getting damaged by moisture, especially when the subfloor is made of concrete.
Engineered hardwood is often confused with solid hardwood, but the planks of the latter are made with solid wood only. On the other hand, engineered hardwood is cheaper, and its planks tend to be wider than those of solid wood. They are also sold in pre-finished form and can last for at least 20 years. Since the top layer of engineered hardwood flooring is made with thin 100% wood, it will require refinishing at some point.
Why Install Engineered Hardwood Flooring?
While solid hardwood stands out in the fact that it can last up to 100 years when cared for properly, engineered hardwood flooring in Toronto is an amazing alternative. It is engineered to look and perform the same way as solid hardwood flooring but with a few additional benefits.
Looks like solid wood flooring
Going for engineered hardwood flooring will not compromise quality. It is very hard to distinguish between solid wood and engineered hardwood. This is thanks to the fact that engineered wood has a top layer of real hardwood.
It is Inexpensive
One of the key reasons why most homeowners choose engineered hardwood is because it is cheaper than solid hardwood. With engineered hardwood, you can expect to spend almost half of what you would otherwise spend on solid hardwood. Engineered hardwood enables you to save money without sacrificing quality.
Better resistance
Engineered wood flooring has been constructed to offer better stability as well as resistance to moisture and temperature variations. The top layer of hardwood runs over a plywood base which creates additional strength and stability of the flooring. The flooring can thus be used with underfloor heating in areas with significant temperature changes such as utility rooms and conservatories.
Easy to install
When compared to hardwood floors, the installation of engineered hardwood flooring is both quick and clean. The flooring is set in place using durable glue products, which adheres to the surface of your home. Alternatively, thanks to the flooring being dimensionally stable, it can be nailed, screwed down, or floated over an underlay.
Other notable benefits of engineered hardwood flooring include:
A scratch-resistant topcoat can be added
It is compatible with underfloor heating
Found with click fitting system which makes it easy and quick to install. The top layer can be sanded and re-finished when necessary. Available in many wood species, colors, styles, finishes and plank widths.
