Why is curved edge flooring made as engineered?
Due to the unique design requirements of the curved edge flooring the boards must be both aesthetically appealing and structurally sound, and engineered hardwood makes it possible. Naturally shaped live edge flooring allows for a wide range of design possibilities, making it a popular choice for architects and interior designers seeking to add unique and eye-catching elements to a space.
Versatility in board sizes
Moreover, the versatility of engineered hardwood allows not only for unique curved designs, but also for larger plank widths and lengths, making it possible to produce curved flooring with impressive dimensions. With plank widths of up to 50 cm and lengths of up to 3 meters, curved engineered wood flooring can create a sense of openness and continuity in larger rooms, elevating the overall ambiance of the space.
Reasons why engineered hardwood is highly regarded
Durability: Engineered hardwood is constructed with multiple layers of wood, typically topped with a solid hardwood veneer. This design makes it more resistant to changes in temperature and humidity compared to solid hardwood, reducing the risk of warping and shrinking. The added durability makes it suitable for areas with varying moisture levels, such as kitchens.
Stability: The layered construction of engineered hardwood provides enhanced stability. It is less prone to expansion and contraction caused by changes in moisture and temperature, making it a reliable choice in regions with extreme weather conditions. Moreover, the curved flooring is installed by gluing down to a subfloor giving it extra stability and that special solid and quiet feel when walking on the floor.
Aesthetics: Engineered hardwood provides the same beautiful appearance of solid hardwood. The top veneer layer of our curved flooring is made from real 4,5 to 5,5 mm thick wood, so it displays the natural grain patterns and textures that people love about hardwood floors.
Eco-friendly: Engineered hardwood uses less precious hardwood in its construction, utilizing a combination of high-quality wood for the top layer and less expensive, sustainable wood for the base layers. In addition, in the process of creating the custom curved flooring we minimize waste as each board is placed to fit perfectly depending on its organic shape. This approach helps to preserve natural resources and is one of the most environmentally friendly option.
Easy maintenance: Engineered hardwood is relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping are usually sufficient to keep it looking fresh and appealing.
Compatibility with underfloor heating: Unlike some flooring materials, our live edge engineered hardwood is compatible with underfloor heating systems, adding warmth and comfort to your living spaces.
Resale value: Installing engineered hardwood flooring can increase the resale value of your home. Many homebuyers appreciate the elegance and longevity of curved hardwood floors, making them an attractive feature when selling a property.
Whether used in residential or commercial settings, curved engineered hardwood flooring adds a touch of sophistication and elegance that truly sets it apart.
