Unfinished Engineered Wooden Flooring

When constructing or remodeling a house, there are areas that need a lot of care and wise decisions in order to make the rest of the house stand out. These are the floors, the walls and the ceiling.

If a wrong decision is made in choosing the materials used or the design, the effect will be felt all round. When it comes to the floor, most people are torn between wood, concrete and tiles. These materials have different prices, installation techniques and they have different features if you think about the overall look. One of the options when it comes to wood is the unfinished engineered wooden flooring.

Benefits of employing unfinished engineered wooden flooring

It gives the house a classy, mature and warm look. This look is associated with the cabins and houses of the wealthy people of earlier generations.  Its production involves placing a layer of hardwood on top of another and pressing them tight with wood adhesive to form a slab. The furniture in the room provides the modern look while this floor exudes the natural, rustic feel that has passed the test of time. In essence, this type of floor is in its natural state with all the grains of hardwood. In some cases, people choose it because it is not custom made. It allows the buyer to choose the finishing and the stain. It does not undergo the finishing like other woods before installing it on the floor.

Hence, the buyer can think about the appropriate finish by considering the way it blends with the rest of the house. It should at least work with the walls and it can go well with a low ceiling that is made of wood. This makes it the best choice for people who have just constructed a house. They can take their time in settling for the finish that suits the theme of their house and the rest of the items. In addition, the unfinished engineered wooden flooring allows the protection of the almost extinct types of wood because the blocks minimize usage. This means one of the rarer types can be sandwiched between the readily available pieces.

Furthermore, it reduces the cost of nails to fix it on the floor because the long slabs can hold firmly and they only need a few nails to hold them in place. The unfinished engineered wooden flooring also stands out against the solid one. It can withstand moist areas of the house like the kitchen and the bathroom. Therefore, the homeowner does not have to purchase different materials for these rooms. On the contrary, the solid one contrasts and expands due to humidity levels and this is not a welcome option for a keen homeowner.
