About the Business
Bridport Timber are specialists in the installation of high end solid and engineered wood flooring. We use our own highly skilled carpenters, fully equipped with the specialist tools necessary to ensure your timber floor is fitted exactly as it should be. With a wide range of boards and finishes available, a great first step is to come and visit us in our showroom so we can show you what we do and find the perfect new floor for you.
Engineered flooring boards are timber boards which consist of multiple layers. Combining several layers of wood with the grain running in different directions greatly increases the stability of the board through changes in temperature and humidity. The thickest top layer of an engineered board (the wear layer) is usually a hard wearing wood such as oak and is usually 2mm to 6mm in thickness. The thicker the wear layer the more times a board can be sanded and refinished over the years. The thickest wear layers offer a lifespan similar to a solid board. Knot holes are filled with resin to provide a smooth even surface to the board.
Solid flooring boards are timber boards manufactured from a single piece of timber. The grain runs naturally through the board and can be affected by changes in temperature and humidity. Sometimes ‘stretcher’ grooves are machined into the reverse of the board to encourage the board to remain flat. Solid boards often contain more dramatic features such as knot holes and can have greater rustic character than an engineered board.
