Why Use Engineered Timber Flooring from Bowens?

Why Use Engineered Timber Flooring from Bowens? 

It’s not hard to find companies outside the timber industry advertising engineered timber flooring. Accordingly, it’s fair to say it is a very competitive market.   

So why do we believe Bowens are best served to supply this popular product? 

Firstly, I wonder if these companies (outside the timber industry) understand the various fundamentals to successfully supply and maintain engineered flooring. Engineered flooring is still timber and when conditions are stressed, it too will react like a solid timber floor. It can be affected by high and low humidity and if exposed to direct sunlight, it can fade as well. 

A good engineered timber flooring is made from 100 per cent wood but strategically manufactured for optimum performance as a flooring material. 

Engineered timber flooring is manufactured in layers: 

• The lamella is an authentic pre-finished layer of French Oak hardwood timber 
• A Heava core is made up of sustainable plantation-grown timber 
• A backing of Pine or Spruce. 

 Advantages of engineered timber flooring: 

• The top layer or lamella is authentic wood 
• The pre-finish is a high-grade Bona factory finish 
• No mess or fumes from on-site sanding and finishing 
• The cross laminations of the Hevea core are designed to mitigate the effects moisture content can have on the wood, resulting in greater stability 
• Better use of sustainable timber resources 
• The designed locking system makes for easy installation 
• The top layer or lamella of our engineered flooring can be re-sanded if scored or damaged 
• Unless it experiences extreme climatic conditions, it does not need acclimatising 
• Bowens will issue detailed suggested installation instructions 
• Arbre & Botanic engineered timber flooring has 10-year coating warranty and 25-year structural warranty 
• Bowens will not walk away if a client has post-installation problems.
