Common questions
A typical 20 square metre room costs roughly £1,100 to £3,000 in engineered wood, supplied and fitted. Solid hardwood costs more, laminate less.
Yes. Engineered boards use a thinner real-wood top layer on a stable core, so they cost less than solid hardwood and cope better with underfloor heating and moisture.
