This type of flooring is more commonly used for renovation projects where the existing subfloor cannot be removed. Overlay flooring is also easier and quicker to install compared to Structural Strip Flooring.")

This type of flooring is generally thicker, with boards typically measuring between 19mm to 22mm in thickness. Structural strip flooring is considered to be a more durable and long-lasting flooring option as it can withstand heavy foot traffic and can be sanded and refinished multiple times throughout its life...")
