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.

We have been using Vastern Timber for over 30 years and there is a good reason for that, their knowledge, service and wide selection and quality of great British timber we have not found elsewhere.
I would recommend to anyone, builders, carpenters, cabinetmakers go and speak to them to discuss your project.

No matter the size of order, Wolf and the super team at Vastern are so happy to help. I've always gone to studely Vastern sawmill and today had a good reason to head to WB. I was warmly welcomed by the whole team and received the best service. Wolf very kindly gave me a tour of the whole site including their Brimstone facility and kilns! Super interesting stuff, he's clearly very passionate about his work and it's inspiring.
I've made vastern my go-to supplier from now on due to so many great experiences with them. I would highly recommend both Vastern at WB and Studely!

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!

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
