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.

Just received my order from Vastern Timber and loved the quality of Brimstone Ash which arrived early. I then ran out and required a small additional quantity and instead of the usual 12 week it was supplied in 3 weeks. Thanks a lot Stefan and the team.

Best customer service I’ve ever had. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the options they have available at the prices are very reasonable we’ve bought some beautiful pieces of Elm and yew and have made some gorgeous pieces from them.

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

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.
