Yes they can at least once.
Engineered flooring top layer thickness.
The veneer is a slice of wood usually about a 1 8 inch 3 18 mm thick glued to the plywood base.
It is this construction detail that will play the biggest role in how your floor looks how stable it will be and how long it.
The top layer though is actual hardwood.
They make engineered hardwood flooring by laminating a solid hardwood veneer on top of a plywood base or similar material.
Engineered hardwood flooring features a top layer of hardwood veneer over a plywood hardwood or hdf high density fiber board core.
Complete with the texture feeling and strength of an actual hardwood floor.
Engineered wood floor is a great flooring solution offering a huge range of colours and styles but choosing the right thickness of your engineered wood floor is a tiny bit more complex than selecting the right colour and style.
Because engineered hardwood veneers are made from real wood and not a photographic layer they have the natural characteristics of the selected wood species.
Thicker top layers can be sanded just like solid wood allowing you to erase deeper scratches and dents.
An engineered floor with a 3 millimeter top for instance can handle two refinishings.
However the end result is less than impressive when compared to a real wood floor.
Engineered hardwood flooring consists of a thin layer of wood on top veneer and multiple layers of backing the core.
Floors with a wear layer less than 2 millimeters thick can tolerate a light scuff sanding with a buffer.
Sand past the total thickness of the wear layer of that particular engineered floor and you ll get to the cross layered plywood core.
The thickness of the veneer and the core varies depending on the design and the manufacturer.
When a floor is sanded and refinished a small portion of the wear layer thickness is being removed.
Laminate is cheaper when bought in bulk though which is a consideration factor.
Is 12mm with a top layer of 3mm a good choice with underfloor heating i have two quotations one only.
