Engineered timber design guide: Key considerations for specifying interior flooring and cladding for hospitality projects

Whether in a bar, restaurant or hotel, a space's foundational backdrop is made up of its flooring and walls. The selection of materials that add value and improve both comfort and visual appeal is essential to the establishment's success. In this respect, engineered timber is one of the industry’s most exciting innovative materials. In comparison to solid wood, it offers greater resistance to temperature and moisture changes, inherent stability, and greater sustainability benefits than other surface options. Add its timeless look and biophilic benefits, and you have a material that can elevate any interior.
