What is engineered wood flooring and what is its structure?
Quick-Step engineered wood flooring has a structure including: What is three layersand one protective coating. The middle layer can be wood core or HDF. Quick-Step selects raw materials and controls the moisture content of wood during production to achieve a satisfactory floor stability and durability design.
1. Protective coating
Depends engineered wood flooring you choose, this finish can include:
- Seven layers of UV-cured water-based paint protect the floor against wear, scratches and stains, while also making it easy to clean.
- Two layers of modified oil create a very matte surface, keeping the natural look of the wood after long-term use.
2. Real wood surface layer
Surface layer made of real wood, available in many colors and grains. With Quick-Step engineered wood flooring, the surface layer is 2.5 mm thick and can be sanded to a refinish.
3. Board core
The core absorbs stress and makes the board stable. The hardness and ductility of the core need to be balanced to facilitate jointing and keep the joint strong. The core is made from solid wood bars or HDF.
4. Bottom layer
Bottom layer made from thinly sliced spruce wood. This layer combines with the remaining layers to limit warping.
