Solid timber flooring is 100% hardwood from the top to the base, meaning that the plank is solid wood all the way through.

The mm's top layer is dependent on the board width and can vary between brands. What Are The Benefits of Engineered Flooring?
Will I Get More Sands From Solid or Engineered Flooring? The tongue and groove joint connects together when the flooring is laid. The re-sandable part of solid flooring is measured from the top surface of the flooring to the top of the tongue and groove. This is the same with engineered flooring. Whether you are sanding solid or engineered flooring, you can only sand down to the tongue and groove joint. The thicker the hardwood layer on your engineered board, the more re-sands you will get. However, bear in mind that the thicker your top layer, the higher the cost. Can Anyone Install My Engineered Flooring? We recommend that a qualified flooring installer lay your flooring for you.
