The combination of real wood veneer and a mix of wood species, its consistent appearance, lovely finishes, stability and the timeless beauty of wood contribute to why engineered timber flooring is considered a popular choice for interior design

1. Top Layer (Wear layer) - Made from real hardwood veneer, which varies in thickness, this layer showcases the natural grain and patterns of the wood.
2. Core Layer - Made from multiple players of plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF) this layer adds structural stability to to help prevent it from warping or expanding
3. Bottom Layer -Made of the same material as the core layer and serves as a balancing layer to further enhance the stability of the flooring.
