Hi All,
I know this topic has been fairly well covered in the past, but I'd be inte rested in an up-to-date round up of consensus from anyone who's been in thi s debate in recent times, as I am soon to be making a decision.
As far as I can tell there is little to choose between them from the point of view of look and wear. Two important factors seem to be (a) solid wood i s more likely to bow (but shouldn't be an issue if the quality is good) - e ngineered wood is more stable, (b) engineered wood seems to be typically a bit more expensive. I'm aware that thickness of veneer is important, and wo uld be going for at least 5mm. Also, engineered wood is preferable over UFH - though this is now irrelevant to my situation as I've decided against th is.
Are there any other things to be borne in mind?
Cheers.
Chris
