Engineered Wood Flooring Thickness

When investing in engineered wood flooring, selecting the right thickness is crucial for both the installation process and the long-term feel of the floor. At One Step Beyond Flooring, we categorize our range by depth (12mm, 14mm, and 18mm) to help you determine which profile offers the best stability, warmth, and durability for your specific project.

Versatile 12mm & 14mm Options

Our 12mm and 14mm boards are the most popular choices for residential renovations. Their moderate thickness makes them incredibly versatile, often fitting under existing doors and skirting boards with minimal adjustment. They are also the ideal partner for underfloor heating systems, as the thinner profile allows heat to transfer through to the room more efficiently while maintaining excellent stability.

Premium 18mm Structural Boards

For the ultimate in luxury and strength, our 18mm engineered flooring offers a substantial profile that rivals solid wood. These thicker boards provide a firmer, more solid feel underfoot and enhanced acoustic properties. Depending on the specific product, 18mm boards are often structural enough to be fixed directly to joists, making them perfect for new builds or extensive restorations.

Real Wood Top Layer

Regardless of the total thickness, all our engineered floors feature a genuine real wood top layer. While thicker boards allow for a deeper wear layer that can be sanded down more times over the decades, every option in our range delivers the authentic grain and beauty of natural timber with the added engineering required to prevent warping.
