How thick should engineered wood flooring be?

The thickness of engineered wood flooring can vary, but typically ranges from 9mm to 22mm. The thickness of the flooring you choose will depend on the look and feel you want, as well as the type of subfloor you have and the conditions in your home.

Thicker engineered wood flooring generally provides a more substantial feel underfoot and is less prone to bending or bowing. However, thicker flooring can also be more expensive and may require more time and effort for installation.

When selecting engineered wood flooring, it’s important to consider the overall thickness as well as the thickness of the top hardwood veneer layer, which can range from 1.5mm to 5mm. The thickness of the top layer will determine the durability and appearance of the flooring.

It’s always best to consult with a professional flooring installer or manufacturer for recommendations on the best thickness for your specific project.
