Question 1

What is engineered wood flooring, and how is it different from solid wood?

Accepted Answer

Engineered wood flooring is made from 3 layers, including a real hardwood top layer, a stabilising core, and a balancing layer. Mikasa Floors uses a state-of-the-art three-layer construction that offers exceptional stability and durability. Unlike solid wood flooring, which is a single plank of timber, Mikasa’s engineered floors are designed to resist expansion and contraction, making them suitable for varied climates and humidity levels.

Question 4

Can Mikasa engineered wood flooring be refinished?

Accepted Answer

Some Mikasa engineered wood floors may allow light sanding or refinishing, depending on the thickness of the top hardwood layer. However, it is advisable to consult product specifications or a flooring expert before attempting refinishing, as many Mikasa floors are pre-finished to minimise the need for sanding.

Question 5

Is Mikasa engineered wood flooring suitable for basements?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Mikasa engineered wood flooring is designed to withstand varying humidity conditions, making it suitable for basements and similar areas. For spaces with constant moisture exposure, we recommend consulting a flooring specialist to ensure the best installation approach and lasting performance.

Question 6

How is Mikasa engineered wood flooring installed?

Accepted Answer

Mikasa engineered wood flooring features the patented PlankLoc™ installation system, enabling quick, glue-free, and gap-free installation. This floating system does not require nails or adhesives and is compatible with various subfloors while ensuring strong locking strength and dimensional stability.

Question 7

What maintenance does Mikasa engineered wood flooring require?

Accepted Answer

Mikasa flooring is easy to maintain. Regular sweeping with a microfibre cloth or vacuuming helps remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp (not wet) microfibre mop with a brand recommended wood floor cleaner. Strictly avoid excessive water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive tools to preserve the floor's finish and integrity.

Question 8

Is Mikasa engineered wood flooring eco-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mikasa engineered wooden floorings are eco-friendly because it maximizes the use of timber by using a thin hardwood layer on top of a core made from a fast-growing, renewable wood. This layered construction ensures minimal waste of premium hardwood while maintaining the natural look and feel of solid wood. The wood used acts as a carbon sink, storing CO₂ absorbed during tree growth, which helps mitigate climate change.

Question 9

Can Mikasa engineered wood flooring be used with underfloor heating?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Mikasa engineered wood flooring is compatible with underfloor heating systems. Its layered construction provides excellent stability under temperature fluctuations. Always follow the brand recommended  installation guidelines for underfloor heating to ensure optimal results.

Question 10

How does Mikasa flooring handle humidity and temperature changes?

Accepted Answer

Mikasa’s three-layer construction provides outstanding dimensional stability, reducing the risk of warping, cupping, or gapping caused by changes in humidity and temperature. This makes it an ideal choice for both dry and humid climates.

Question 11
