Wolf was excellent today helping Steve and I select a piece of wood for a desk and sorting out getting it cut so we could move it back on our truck. Great service and really nice that he was interested in our project. Thanks so much.

Just received my order from Vastern Timber and loved the quality of Brimstone Ash which arrived early. I then ran out and required a small additional quantity and instead of the usual 12 week it was supplied in 3 weeks. Thanks a lot Stefan and the team.

Hi Tom

Just a very quick line to say what a pleasure it is dealing with you and your team. I got some beautiful wood at a good price and particularly Ben and Stuart couldn’t have been more helpful in the yard if they tried, as was Robin and Sue.

Many thanks
Charlie

Another great experience of selecting british Ash (with the ever patient Wolf) for a beautiful tiny home back at base. See you again soon. @lifespacecabins

I used Vasterns for some ash for a kitchen job and was very pleased with the quantity to choose from, the quality of the timber and the price. The customer service was also excellent. A guy named Wolf took time to help me pick out everything I needed. Left feeling pleased with my haul of timber and will definitely be back.

Solid or engineered hardwood floor?

Solid hardwood flooring is a premium choice for those who value natural beauty, durability, and character. Made from a single piece of timber, solid boards develop subtle movement over time – adding an authentic, lived-in look that’s hard to replicate with engineered alternatives.

Installing solid hardwood flooring typically involves fitting, sanding, and sealing all to be conducted on site, which requires some skill and the right tools. The result is a truly custom finish that can last for decades.

Engineered wood flooring is a great option if you’re working with underfloor heating or need a faster, easier installation. Pre-finished engineered boards offer a clean, uniform look with minimal effort and no on-site sanding required.

Hardwood flooring specification

We supply our solid hardwood flooring boards at 20mm thick and in random lengths. Most of our floors are supplied in a traditional mixed-width format. This allows us to use as much of the tree as possible and keeps the flooring looking authentic.

Our solid wood floor boards have a tongue and groove (T&G) joint running down the long edges but not on the ends. The ends of the boards will require trimming perfectly square before fitting. For suspended floors, the ends of the solid boards must be supported by the joists.

Our range of engineered wood flooring is produced from European oak on high-quality birch ply and is available in both 15mm and 20mm-thick boards and a range of set widths. We offer unfinished as well as pre-finished engineered flooring options and a choice of grades ranging from clear to heavily distressed.

Engineered floor boards are supplied with T&G and micro bevel on all four edges. Floor board lengths are between 1.0mt and 2.4mt long. For suspended floors, engineered boards can be joined without the support of a joist.

Installing your floor

While we offer advice on how to fit your hardwood floor boards, we do recommend that you use an experienced fitter to carry out the work. We can recommend a few good local floor fitters.
