Engineered Oak Flooring
Our premium engineered oak flooring offers the classic elegance of oak coupled with enhanced stability and easy installation. Imported from Heywood in the Netherlands, it combines a high-quality oak veneer with a robust birch-ply base, making it ideal for modern homes, commercial spaces, and underfloor heating installations.
Engineered oak flooring retains the warmth, grain, and durability of solid oak while offering superior performance. Its multi-layer construction minimises expansion and contraction, making it perfect for use over underfloor heating and damp subfloors. It also allows for faster fitting and lighter tooling compared to solid oak.
Our range:
Unfinished engineered oak
These oak floors come uncoated so that you can apply your oil of choice once the floor is laid. We offer a range of widths, thicknesses and grades to order, and we stock a 220mm-wide Character Grade Oak for immediate collection or swift delivery. Once installed, choose your preferred lacquer, oil, or wax finish.
Pre-finished Heywood range
We are proud to offer the Heywood range of pre-finished engineered oak flooring. Manufactured in Europe, this premium collection includes smoked, brushed, and oiled finishes all applied in Europe. The Heywood range offers beautiful textures and tones straight from the factory, ready to use upon delivery.
