Technological And Engineering Progression
Cross-Laminated Timber(CLT)
Technological advancement has influenced timber flooring strategies in a better way. Cross-laminated timber(CLT) is a new wood technology with several layers of structural grade timbers arranged crosswise and glued together. The alternating grain pattern in CLT provides a stable and versatile flooring pattern that is lighter than concrete.
Engineered Wood Flooring
Engineered wood flooring has a thin hardwood layer at the top with a plywood core. The core consists of several layers of plywood or softwood arranged in a crisscross manner to increase the durability of the wood. Engineered wood is cheaper than solid hardwood and provides better resistance to humidity and moisture when used in kitchens and bathrooms.
Cross-laminated timber and engineered wood are products of technological and engineering progression in contemporary architecture. Maintenance with sanding and polishing increases the longevity of timber floors. Engineered wood, however, can be sanded only a few times due to the thin top hardwood layer but can last for more than 30 years with proper care.

The minimalist approach entails the use of minimum resources for a space. A soft theme of colors will add light and make the area open and clean. You can get a minimalist look by changing the flooring style.
