Engineered Oak Flooring

Engineered Oak Flooring Features

Oak flooring is the most popular choice and while we think solid oak flooring is hard to beat, engineered oak flooring is increasingly the preference of customers. It’s hard to argue with the fact that engineered floors are quicker to fit and require less equipment and skill than solid floors. Engineered flooring is also more suited for use over underfloor heating because of its superior stability and it is available in a much wider range of pre-finishes.
It pains us to say it (because we don’t make it ourselves) but engineered floors are really quite impressive these days.
We import an excellent range of engineered flooring from our friends at Heywood in the Netherlands. Their flooring is among the best on the market. They use only top-quality birch ply for the base and their gluing, machining and finishing is spot on.

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.

If you're a carpenter, you'll love this place. Great selection of oak planks, mouldings, various lengths and sizes. Amazing choices of whole tree rough edged planks, various sizes and types, oak, elm, etc. Lot's more too, cladding, oils, the list goes on. Competitive prices, friendly helpful service 👍

We are based in Kent and we re-clad our house in Brimstone poplar. The product is beautiful and it was one of the best decisions we made in our renovation process. Stefan and the team have been very helpful with information and advice both before and after the sale. Thank you!

Since opening our workshop Murray & Gould Ltd in 2022, Vasterns Timber has become our first choice timber merchant. It certainly helps being local, which got us through the door the first time around, but it’s the service and quality of products that keeps us going back.It’s so easy to make an appointment giving details of what timber and dimensions you wish to select.The timber is made accessible and ready by the time of the appointment which saves so much time. You are taken through the process by ‘Wolf’, who is happy to help however he can to find the timber boards that you require. He’s incredibly patient and helpful so you don’t feel at all rushed or pressured to select unsatisfactory boards, as is often the case elsewhere.The prices have been good every time we’ve been and very fair on any ‘character’ in the boards.If they have, or can source, the species we need, then they are our first port of call. Having been shown round the whole site by Wolf, we have a great picture of the huge stock that is available and the variations within them.David GouldMurray & Gould Ltd
