At Vastern Timber we manufacture solid oak, ash and elm wood floor boards in a range of widths up to 300mm. We also offer engineered hardwood flooring in various widths and a choice of coatings and finishes. Our showroom is open to both trade and DIY.
A wood floor is beautiful, hardwearing and can suit almost any style of room, but there is huge amount of choice and deciding what is best for you can be a challenge. The range of prices is staggering, as are the numerous colours and coatings.
We’ll do our best to simplify the process for you and help you find a beautiful hardwood floor that matches your budget and your style.
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.
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.
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.
