Wide plank engineered hardwood flooring combines a hardwood wear layer with a plywood or HDF core, allowing boards 180–300 mm wide while improving dimensional stability compared with solid wide boards. The wider format reduces visible seams and can make open rooms feel calmer and more continuous. Andiwilson supports projects by reviewing wear layer thickness, core construction, board width, finish and installation method before order. Illustrative specifications use 14–15 mm boards in living areas, hotel suites and retail flagships. Installation may be floating over underlay, glue-down over concrete or staple-down over wood subfloors, with a vapour barrier where required. Acclimatisation and subfloor moisture checks are agreed before fitting. A dry-lay helps check grain, shade variation and layout. Engineered wide planks can suit low-temperature underfloor heating when confirmed by the manufacturer, but heating should be commissioned gradually. Andiwilson provides care notes covering dry mopping, neutral cleaner and furniture pads. Performance depends on core quality, site humidity and maintenance, so project teams should confirm current technical documents and installation guidance before ordering.
