A popular choice among homeowners around the world, wood flooring captivates with its natural grain patterns and the warmth it exudes in an enclosed space. While it is known to be more durable than other flooring alternatives, such as laminates and vinyls, solid wood boards are susceptible to termite infestations and require additional care to ensure its lasting beauty. Timber from some varieties of softwood timber are also sensitive to moisture, which is bad news for our high-humidity climate here. This explains why more local homeowners are opting for engineered wood options instead when deciding on their choice of flooring. Made by combining layers of hardwood and plywood, engineered wood boards offer the same natural look of solid timber with added strength and durability. Michele Cauzzo, sales manager of Italian wood specialist Foglie d'Oro, shares more information on why the company's engineered wood options offer endless possibilities when it comes to beautifying the home.
