Why we only stock Engineered Floors at WoodFloorStore
It’s simple, engineered flooring offers the best performance, flexibility, and value, without compromising on the natural beauty of wood.
Engineered floors combine a real hardwood surface with a strong, stable core, meaning they can handle Irish humidity, underfloor heating systems, and daily wear with ease.
They look identical to solid planks, and often cost less to install and maintain. It’s no wonder they’re now the most popular wood flooring in Ireland.
