Is engineered timber flooring suitable for NZ homes?

Yes. Engineered timber is widely used in New Zealand because its layered construction helps reduce seasonal movement compared with solid timber. Correct acclimatisation, moisture checks, and the right installation method still matter.

How long does engineered timber flooring last?

Lifespan depends on wear layer thickness, board construction, finish system, and maintenance. A well-specified engineered timber floor can perform for decades in residential settings.

Can engineered timber flooring be sanded and refinished?

Often, yes, depending on the thickness of the real timber wear layer. If refinishing matters for your project, choose a product designed with a suitable wear layer and follow manufacturer guidance.
