Subject: Solid or engineered wooden floor
Should the wooden pieces be "glued" together? For an engineered floor it depends on the type. click fit systems do not need glue. Non-glue floors do need gluing, otherwise water gets into the cracks and they delaminate prematurely. With wood glue youve got ages to undo mistakes before it dries. Egineered wood floors are far more stable than real solid wood in terms of expand/shrink/warp, but are a lot more vulnerable to damage by damp and wet. In practice they dont last anything like as long. NT |
