  1. ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING ACOUSTIC MATERIALS Angeles, July Jasmine F. Dela Cruz, Ma. Isabelle G.

  2. Engineered wood flooring composed of two or more layers of wood in the form of a plank. The top layer (lamella) is the wood that is visible when the flooring is installed and is adhered to the core. The increased stability of engineered wood is achieved by running each layer at a 90° angle to the layer above. This stability makes it a universal product that can be installed over all types of subfloors above, below or on grade. Engineered wood is the most common type of wood flooring used globally.

  3. TYPES OF ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING There are several different categories of engineered wood flooring: •  timber wood floors • Veneer floors • Acrylic impregnated wood flooring • Laminate and vinyl

  4. Engineered wood flooring manufacturing Lamella The lamella is the face layer of the wood that is visible when installed. Typically it is a sawn piece of timber. The timber can be cut in three different styles: flat-sawn, quarter-sawn, and rift-sawn. However, because only one side of the wood is visible on flooring, "quarter-sawn" and "rift-sawn" will have the same appearance.

  5. AestheticsEngineered wood flooring is mainly industrially fabricated in the form of straight edged boards, with milled jointing profiles to provide for interconnecting of the boards. Such manufacturing is most cost efficient but leaves an industrial looking surface. In nature no straight lines exist; therefore there is a rising trend to modify the visual appearance to imitate it. In recent years numerous producers have been taking on the challenge of adding more Natural aesthetics.
