Engineered solid wood is like solid timber but with a twist. The real wood is pressed onto a plywood base which provides stability not usually associated with solid wood. Because of this stability, all engineered floors are suitable for use with underfloor heating.

Researchers at NUI Galway have begun designing high quality forestry products through the use of innovative engineering technologies. The research project will be spearheaded by Dr Annette Harte, a senior lecturer of civil engineering and member of the Ryan Institute at NUI Galway. The first stage of this new initiative, with an estimated cost of €500,000, is to create a database that will list details of all recognised properties of Irish produced timber. The next step will be to re-engineer the timber in order to create products with enhanced strength and durability.
