If you want to use your shed as an addition, informal living space or lounging area, then do it! Often used as a playground for young children, home offices and informal bunk rooms, a well-constructed garden shed is a perfect solution if you are struggling with a lack of space. Depending on your budget, you can choose between more expensive or more affordable wood flooring options, but either way engineered wood flooring is probably your best solution because your shed is most probably going to suffer tough climatic conditions and a pretty aggressive environment.
As you already know, engineered wood is a lot less prone to damages that are the result of humidity, moisture and high-temperature changes and unlike solid wood is most likely experiencing major and minor damages a lot less. If you are willing to invest in a low-cost engineered wood flooring option, European oak engineered wood is a great solution that is high quality and very beautiful, but still a pretty affordable option. In case you are willing to go that extra mile and invest a bit more into wood flooring for your shed, then you can go for the distressed oak option that looks stunning and is not going to overly stretch your budget.
If you are considering using your shed for extra storage space, then the main factor that will determine your wood flooring choice is your budget. To be more exact – you do not need to spend so much money on expensive wood flooring options. A lacquered, low-cost engineered wood floor would make the perfect solution in this case, because it is beautiful and affordable and most importantly – very hard-wearing and resistant to several damages.
