ENG-FL-14-004 City Central European Espresso 3 Strip Lacquered Engineered Flooring is 207mm wide, has a total thickness of 15mm and comes in standard lengths of 2200mm. This is a 3 ply engineered floor so it is made from 3 different layers, one being the hardwood wear layer with the other 2 being constructed from spruce. The floor has a 3.2mm hardwood layer which if need can be sanded and re-finished up to 4 times, but under a normal maintenance program and in a domestic environment the floor should not need to be sanded for around 20 years. The surfaces of these floors are divided equally into uniform width slats or staves, like bricks in a wall, three-strip floors are divided into three slats. The pattern runs in the same direction throughout the floor. This design is used in modern and traditional interiors alike and works particularly well in smaller rooms, creating an illusion of space. The edges of the boards meet squarely creating a uniform, smooth surface that blends the floor together from board to board. The overall look of this floor gives a contemporary flair and formal feeling to the room. The floor is prefinished with a very durable satin lacquer which leaves the floor with an even sheen that gently reflects the light. The lacquer also gives great protection to the hardwood itself and allows for easier cleaning and maintenance. The family grade of this hardwood shows the true excellent appearance of the wood, the pattern of the rings beautifully depicts the annual growth of the tree and while small knots, limited character marks are allowed there is little or no sapwood, mineral streaks or splits.
