Benefits of Solid Timber over Engineered Timber Flooring

Renaissance Parquet Solid Timber vs Engineered Timber Flooring

Comparing solid timber vs engineered timber flooring can be broken down into four attributes. Renaissance Parquet is able to offer both types of flooring so as to meet the demands and needs of its customers. If you are confused between the two types of flooring, check out the comparisons below:

1. Durability

When it comes to durability, solid parquetry comes out on top as it is a single piece of hardwood that is custom-cut. Meanwhile, engineered parquetry is composed of a thin layer of hardwood that is bonded with plywood layers and has lower durability.

2. Life Span

The average lifespan of engineered timber is 35 years while solid timber is around 60+ years. The latter can be re-sanded and re-finished while the former has a limited scope on these.

4 .Reaction to Humidity and Temperature

The contraction of solid timber is expected but can be minimised depending on the drying process. Engineered wood is specifically designed for minimal floor shifting and contraction due to high humidity.
