Real Wood flooring
Whether you’re looking to modernise your home or enhance the many period features in a more classical property, it’s important to choose flooring that not only complements your existing furniture, but also blends well with the rest of your home. If you’re looking to combine the right look with the added benefits of durability and easy maintenance, real wood flooring is the top option.
Not only does it lend a sense of permanence to interiors, but it has been proven over centuries, offering a huge range of advantages:
- Easy to clean and maintain
- High quality finish
- Brings natural warmth to a room
- Excellent strength and durability over decades, if not centuries
- Increases the value of a home
- Outstanding acoustics
- Finish improves with age
Choose the right look: From top quality QPA to rustic oak
Real wood flooring is available in a range of natural materials, and different woods suit different decors. The most popular real wood is solid oak, not just due to the strength and reliability it affords, but also the unique character. For example, with natural oak the little imperfections enhance the overall appearance, such as knots, shakes, cracks and sap discolouration.
There is, however, one main drawback when using a 100% natural material such as oak wood. It can warp in a number of different ways, so we recommend you have a professional flooring contractor carry out any installation, as they will be able to diagnose potential problems before the installation. If you are looking for real wood flooring that carries all of the beauty and durability but has fewer issues in this regard, our engineered floorboards are a fine choice.
Our real wood flooring finishes
We’ve seen our clean cut, robust and classic flooring products transform our customers’ interiors, so whatever style you decide on, you’re guaranteed a product that’s unique, hard wearing and well suited for a long-lasting floor. Our European Solid Oak Flooring offers a clean look, containing minimal knots and a more uniformed grain in comparison to character grade oak. Our American White Oak Flooring is packed with personality, with a fair few knots, face shakes (fine splits in the crown running with the grain), fillable defects, colour variations and sapwood, whilst they come with an exceptional planed finish, so sanding is not normally necessary.
