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.
Unfinished engineered oak floors

Unfinished engineered oak floors

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 200mm wide character grade oak for immediate collection.

Pre-finished engineered oak floors

Pre-finished engineered oak floors

We are proud to offer the Heywood range of pre-finished engineered oak flooring. Manufactured in Europe to exacting standards, the Heywood range combines processes including, smoking, brushing, tumbling and band sawing with tinted oils to create an array of textures and tones.
