Engineered floorboard

What is engineered floorboard?

The engineered floorboards produced by Spigiel feature a two-layer construction.


The top layer is a wear layer made of hard, noble wood, while the bottom layer is plywood made from hardwood.


This proven technology has been used for many years and offers numerous advantages. If you prefer natural materials in your interior, this is undoubtedly the perfect solution for you.


Engineered floorboards are also commonly referred to as wooden panels.

Engineered boards are glued to the subfloor during installation. They are also suitable for use with underfloor heating systems. When installing flooring in a room equipped with underfloor heating, it is important to take into account the stresses caused by temperature and humidity fluctuations in wooden elements. Therefore, such installation requires expert knowledge and experience. As the manufacturer, we recommend that installation be carried out by a professional flooring company.

Warranty for Underfloor Heating Installation
  1. The maximum surface temperature during the entire period of use should not exceed 26°C. To ensure proper use of the floor, temperature monitoring seals should be installed under the subfloor.
  2. Installation must be performed by a qualified parquet or flooring specialist.
  3. The subfloor must comply with all current standards applicable to subfloors for wooden floors.
  4. The surface of the subfloor must be sanded before installing the parquet./li>
  5. The installation of thermal monitoring seals (also known as “temperature stickers”) is required to record the temperature history.
  6. During installation and throughout the use of engineered floorboards, it is essential to maintain proper indoor climate conditions, particularly regarding air humidity. Wood is a natural material that changes its dimensions under the influence of humidity. The optimal conditions for wooden floors are a room temperature of 18–21°C and a relative air humidity of 45%–65%. Higher humidity may cause the wood to swell and warp, while lower humidity can lead to shrinkage and the formation of gaps between the boards. Such natural changes cannot be considered grounds for warranty claims.
  7. The wooden flooring must always be glued to the subfloor. This ensures better heat transfer and reduces internal stresses and wood swelling.
  8. Do not place carpets or rugs on top of heated wooden floors. The area beneath them becomes a heat zone without air circulation, which can lead to visible and wide gaps between the boards.
  9. During the winter (heating) season, use air humidifiers to maintain the required humidity level.
  10. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in the rejection of any warranty claims.

Advantages of Engineered Floorboards

Oiled wooden floors have significant antistatic properties. In practice, this means that the boards have a lower tendency to attract and retain dust due to their reduced electrostatic charge. As a result, such floors are recommended for people with allergies.

In interior design, wood can achieve various goals. However, the most common is a connection to nature. Engineered wood is perfect for both classic and ultra-modern interiors. It blends beautifully with a variety of materials, from stone, ceramics, glass, and even raw concrete.

Engineered floorboards – especially those finished with oil – offer anti-slip properties. This is partly due to the natural texture of the wood, which increases the contact surface and friction. These floors can be successfully used in a variety of interiors, including living rooms, corridors, kitchens, children’s rooms, offices, classrooms, and hotel rooms.

Like most flooring materials, engineered boards will naturally wear over time. Although their lifespan is long, they may eventually need refreshing or restoration.
One of the great advantages of engineered floorboards is that they can be renovated using various restoration techniques, giving the floor a new look and extended life without the need for complete replacement.
