Abstract: Engineered wood flooring comprises three or more layers of wood veneer adhered together to create a plank. The surfaces were coated to scale back water absorption. However, as wood is a hygroscopic substance, it loses and gains moisture from the atmosphere. This affects the dimensional stability of the floor badly, which emanates wide gaps between boards, cupped edges, crowning edges, and bulking of boards. Hence, the main intention of this study was to stabilize the engineered wood flooring by filling the wood cavity with linseed oil, paraffin wax, and a mixture of both, and evaluate the physical, mechanical property of treated and non-treated engineered wood flooring boards. The treatments were conducted at different temperature and durations. Keywords: Dimensional stabilization, Wood modification, Wood floor, Linseed oil, Paraffin wax, Impregnation
