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 have been using Vastern timber for several years and have always found the chaps there super friendly and accommodating.
The timber selection is varied and vast which as a furniture maker is essential to have a constant supply of decent material.
Selection is made easy by the extremely helpful guys in the yard so a big shout out to Wolf at Basset and Ben, Stuart and Morsey at the Studley yard.

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.

I had a great experience buying some oak decking. Stefan was incredibly helpful and patiently answered all my questions (it was my first time using oak, or laying decking, so I had a lot!). The timber is lovely.

Always a great experience at Vastern. Prices are reasonable considering the quality is so good, and the staff are all very helpful & knowledgeable, even dealing with small quantity orders. Special shout out to Wolf, he's bloody brilliant. Always happy to help dig to the bottom of a pile to find the perfect boards for the job, and he's got a proper interest in timber and woodworking.
