How to choose the right engineered timber floor boards with Danielle from Woodcut

June 08, 2022

Danielle from Woodcut is here to talk to us all about engineered timber boards. Woodcut is not just another timber flooring company, they combine quality and function to create premium engineered timber flooring that seamlessly integrates into any space.


In this episode, we discuss the differences between real timber and engineered boards and the considerations you need to make when you’re purchasing. Danielle shares her perspective with us and discusses the features we need to be looking for when choosing the right material for our next build. 


The main difference between real timber and engineered boards is the stability of the board. Older homes with solid boards start to move, crack or open up between the boards due to age, weathering and moisture. 


Danielle shares the pros and cons of each type of material. I discuss my process when using real timber solid boards in my builds and the time spent considering each aspect of laying the board, sanding it down, staining and lacquering. The benefit of timber engineered boards is there are no surprises, they’re tried and tested, temperature-controlled and what you choose is exactly what you get. 


Danielle talks us through the benefits for families, the easy process of replacing a damaged board and using the visualiser tool to look at different colour trends. 


If you’re pondering your next flooring choice, Danielle will help you make a decision and spark the creative juices to create a beautiful base for your next build.
