We are all watching the pennies at the moment, but being on a budget doesn't mean you can't update your home. When it comes to laying flooring, those on a budget can opt for oak engineered flooring which offers the same quality look as hardwood, at a fraction of the cost.
Rooms can be transformed by laying a new floor and another benefit of engineered flooring is that DIY enthusiasts can lay it themselves – saving further on laboring costs.
The unique aspect of engineered flooring is that while the core of the material will come from oak or walnut, there will be other materials included such as MDF. Because the top of the three layers of wood used will be oak the finish of the final product is still good.
Bathrooms and basements can benefit the most from this style of flooring, as it works well in spaces that attract a lot of moisture.
