Textured engineered wood flooring can reproduce the feeling of old hardwood floors in spaces where solid wood floors aren’t possible. Engineered floors are designed for installation in basements, on concrete slab or over radiant heating systems – places where solid hardwood floors would tend to warp or crack. Treating these engineered surfaces with wood floor texture recreates the look of old floorboards that have been lived on for generations, infusing these locations with a greater sense of character and charm.
At Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, we produce the finest engineered wood planks on the market, and our craftsmen are experts at textured wood flooring. From hand-scraped edges on a Walnut floor to wire-brushed White Oak floorboards, our design consultants can work with you to create one-of-a-kind textured engineered wood flooring that can transform your interior, adding elegance and sophistication to any room.
Engineered floors are constructed with multiple layers of material glued together to form a strong core that is more resistant to changes in humidity and moisture. Carlisle engineered wood flooring is made with a thick veneer of hardwood such as White Oak, Maple, Ash or Cherry. This top layer, or "wear layer", is adhered to multiple layers of Baltic Birch to form floorboards with the strongest core on the market today. Engineered floors are more suitable for installations below grade or in areas where high levels of humidity and moisture would cause solid wood floors to warp or crack.
Craftsmen use a variety of wood floor texture techniques to make new hardwood floors look like surfaces that have been lived on for years. Techniques like hand scraping and hit-and-miss processes replicate the look of boards that were cut at old sawmills and prepared for installation by hand. Other techniques like wire brushing reproduce the look of boards that have been worn down by time and footsteps.
Any wood that can be used to make an engineered floor can be treated with texturing techniques like hand-scraped edges or wire brushing. At Carlisle, we offer engineered floors in a variety of hardwoods such as Ash, Birch, Cherry, Hickory, Brown Maple, White Maple, Red Oak, White Oak and Walnut.
