Wood Flooring

Timeless solid and engineered wood flooring for elegant, natural beauty that lasts.

Why choose wood?

Wood flooring brings natural beauty and a premium feel. It works brilliantly in living spaces and hallways, and can add long-term value. The key is choosing the right construction for your home environment.

Best for

  • • Living rooms & dining rooms
  • • Hallways (with good mats)
  • • Open plan spaces
  • • Homes wanting a premium finish

Not ideal for

  • • High moisture rooms without the right product
  • • If you want “zero maintenance”
  • • Very unstable subfloors without prep

Solid vs engineered wood

Solid wood: made from a single piece of timber. Beautiful and can often be sanded multiple times, but can move more with humidity changes.

Engineered wood: a real wood top layer bonded to stable layers beneath. More stable and often a better choice for modern homes.

Finish & style guide

Matt finish

Modern look, helps hide small marks and dust compared to high gloss.

Oiled finish

Natural feel and easy spot repair, but needs periodic maintenance.

Lacquered finish

Protective surface, easier daily cleaning, great for busy spaces.

Plank width

Wide planks feel contemporary; narrower planks suit traditional rooms.

Maintenance tips

  • • Vacuum/sweep to remove grit (biggest cause of scratches).
  • • Use a damp (not wet) mop with wood-safe cleaner.
  • • Felt pads under furniture + mats at entrances.
  • • Maintain humidity levels where possible for stability.

Fitting overview

Wood can be floated, glued, or nailed depending on the product and subfloor. A good fitter will check subfloor moisture and flatness before installation.

FAQ

Can wood go in a kitchen?

Sometimes, but it depends on moisture exposure and product type. Vinyl is often the safer option for busy kitchens.

Does engineered wood last?

Yes — it’s very stable and durable, and many options can be refinished depending on top layer thickness.
