BERG & BERG - ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING

Berg & Berg have been producing beautiful engineered wood flooring since the mid 1990's in Sweden - the traditional home of engineered wood flooring.  Their strength as a company lies in their belief that quality materials and techniques are employed throughout the production process.  To ensure that this is the case they control production from their own sawmills right the way through to the finished, packaged article.  Berg & Berg have strong ecological criteria.  This has led to their engineered wood flooring gaining the Nature Plus seal of quality and also FSC certification (on many of their products).

As a company we were introduced to Berg & Berg's products and have offered them through our retail shops since 2004.  Since that time we have developed an admiration for the company and we are firm believers in the quality and reliability of their service.  It is our belief in the range of engineered wood flooring products from Berg & Berg that has led us to the formation of Berg & Berg.co.uk.  Although we are not the UK's sole distributors of Berg & Berg, we are the only dedicated supplier. 

Berg & Berg engineered wood flooring is an overlay product that is produced with a strong patented locking system called Svedloc.  This locking system gives a good strong fixing that allows the floor to be floated (over an underlay) with or without an additional strengthening bead of glue along the joint.  This construction reduces the stress that can lead to squeaky joints or, in the longer term, breaks that can then weaken the floor.  Of course like any wooden floor, engineered or solid, it must be fitted with the allowance of an expansion gap.  Wood is a natural material and it will swell or shrink depending on the humidity.  The lack of an adequate expansion gaps can lead to dramatic effects.

Engineered wood flooring is considered to be the most stable of all real wood flooring and is suitable for most domestic and commercial installations.  Berg & Berg's engineered wood flooring products can be recommended for kitchens (they are amongst the very few products that are).  Only engineered floors that are of the highest quality in terms of construction and stability could be considered.  Bathrooms, however, are not recommended due to the high level of humidity and the likelihood of water spillages. 

The precision of the engineered wood flooring produced by Berg & Berg means that the boards are of an exact height which negates the need for a pronounced bevel.  A bevel not only hides manufacturing defects but also causes a dirt trap.  Berg & Berg is therefore an excellent choice where ease of cleaning and hygenic value are important - a healthy floor.
