If you are thinking about updating some rooms in your house, then you have no doubt considered a change in flooring too. While there are many options out there, you should consider engineered oak flooring as one of your prime contenders, especially if timber flooring is something you like. While timber is good for new homeowners too, the qualities of engineered oak flooring especially appeal to renovators for a variety of reasons. Here are some reasons to choose this material over the alternatives at your local flooring store.

Quick to Install

Long renovations are your worst nightmare as an owner because you have to sacrifice so much room in your house if you are able to stay there at all during the installation. Real timber flooring can take ages to source and quite a few days to put in properly. Engineered oak flooring has an easy install process that can take a fraction of the time, and best of all, it is almost always in stock. It is easier to make and so popular that virtually all flooring warehouses will have hundreds of square metres of material ready to ship straight away.

Cost-Effective 

While some new homeowners can go a bit wild when designing their first home, for renovations most people are a little more circumspect. Engineered oak flooring is always going to be cheaper than completely real timber, but that does not mean it is a downgrade in quality. In fact, in many ways, it can be even better, as it lasts longer with less maintenance. The great thing about engineered oak flooring is that so many people can't even tell the difference when walking on it, and all your friends and visitors will likely be shocked when you reveal it to them.

Customisation

If you are renovating your home that means you have a very specific idea in mind of what you want it to look like. Engineered oak flooring can come in all different shades, colours, patterns and textures that meet every niche you might want to fill. If you can't find something that you love, talk to a flooring contractor and see what they make of the situation. They very well may know of something that matches your needs that you couldn't find and will be happy to make that connection to create another satisfied customer.
