These natural features create a strong character timber floor rather than a uniform oak appearance.
Typical engineered board construction:
Wear layer – Solid Hickory veneer
Core layer – Multi-layer plywood construction
Balancing layer – Stabilising backing veneer
This cross-laminated structure provides dimensional stability and resistance to movement compared with solid timber flooring.
