Whether you're completing a full commercial fit-out or replacing existing flooring as part of a refurbishment, we'll help you find the right solution for your space.
Why choose engineered timber
The look of natural wood, built for commercial stability
Engineered timber provides the natural appearance of traditional wood flooring but is constructed using multiple layers for enhanced stability. The upper surface consists of a layer of genuine timber, giving the flooring its authentic grain, colour and texture. Beneath this, multiple supporting layers provide additional dimensional stability.
This makes engineered timber an attractive option for commercial interiors where appearance is important but the flooring also needs to withstand the demands of everyday use.

Subfloor preparation for engineered timber
A properly prepared subfloor is essential
Uneven surfaces, excessive moisture or unsuitable existing substrates can all affect the finished installation if they aren't addressed beforehand. Our team assesses the condition of the floor and completes the necessary preparation — moisture testing, floor levelling and other remedial works - before installation begins. By providing both subfloor preparation and commercial flooring installation, we manage the process from start to finish.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is engineered timber suitable for commercial properties?
Yes. Engineered timber can be an excellent option for commercial environments where appearance and quality are particularly important. The appropriate product should be selected based on expected footfall, use and maintenance requirements.
What's the difference between engineered timber and solid wood flooring?
Solid wood flooring is manufactured from a single piece of timber, whereas engineered timber combines a genuine wood surface with multiple supporting layers. This construction provides greater dimensional stability while retaining the appearance and character of natural wood.
Can engineered timber be used with underfloor heating?
Many engineered timber products are suitable for use with underfloor heating, although this depends on the particular flooring and heating system. We'll check the product specification and installation requirements before recommending a solution.
Do you prepare the subfloor before installation?
Yes. We can provide the necessary subfloor preparation as part of the installation. The existing floor will be assessed to determine whether moisture testing, levelling or other preparation is required.
Can you help us choose the right engineered timber?
Yes. We'll consider your interior design, expected footfall, practical requirements and budget before recommending suitable flooring options.
Do you supply and install engineered timber flooring?
Yes. Suffolk Contract Flooring provides a complete commercial flooring service, including product sourcing, subfloor preparation and professional installation.
