Benefits of Real Wood

Strong & durable

Our wood floors are built to last, thanks to their strength and durability. With proper care, the hard surface can last for decades, making it a worthwhile investment for your home. Additionally, wood flooring can add value to your home, which can be a great selling point if you decide to move. 
Enhance the look of your home

Wood floors add a touch of elegance and warmth to your home, making it look and feel more inviting. They also make a great first impression, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your living space. With a wide range of colours, shades, and woods to choose from, you can customise your floors to perfectly match your decor. Unlike other flooring materials, real hardwood floors offer unique natural beauty with a variety of shades, swirls, and grains that add character and personality to your home.
Low maintenance & easy to clean

Our wood floors are incredibly easy to keep clean, making maintenance a breeze. They can be swept, steam-cleaned, or vacuumed to remove any dirt or debris that has accumulated. They are also stain-resistant, so spills can be easily wiped away.

Real Wood Flooring - FAQ’s

What are the differences between solid and engineered floors?

The defining difference between solid and engineered flooring is that a solid board is a single piece of solid timber, whereas an engineered floor is made up of several layers of timber.

Can wood flooring be installed with underfloor heating?

Yes, our engineered floors are expertly constructed to be stable enough and have a low enough moisture content for underfloor heating. Solid flooring, on the other hand, is not suitable for underfloor heating. The most important issue to remember is that wooden floors over underfloor heating should never exceed a surface temperature of 27 degrees Celsius.

What is a floating floor?

A floating floor is a floor of engineered boards (excluding parquet woodblocks) that is put on top of an underlay and not physically fixed to an existing substrate. Reasons for fitting a floating floor include accommodating underfloor heating, incorporating sound reduction material, adding a damp course or moisture-resistant barrier, or adding a minor insulation material.

Why does wood change colour over time?

Wood is a natural product and as such, is sensitive to environmental changes. Direct sunlight will cause the floor's colour to fade over time. The extent to which a floor changes colour depends on the species, the type of finish, and the amount of contact with direct sunlight. Most floors will fade in colour, so obvious differences in colour at an early stage of the floor's life become less obvious as the colour becomes more uniform.

Can you fit a wood floor directly to concrete?

When installing a floor over a concrete or screed subfloor, you have a few options. The most common method is to bond directly to the subfloor with a suitable flooring adhesive. However, not all flooring types are suitable for this method. The next method, and probably the easiest, is to float an engineered floor on an underlay. However, not all floors can be floated. The third method is to create a wooden subfloor, with either plywood or with battens bonded to the concrete or screed.

How do you clean real wood floors?

The best way to clean hardwood floors is to adopt a regular routine. Use a broom or hardwood floor mop for cleaning wood floors daily. A microfiber dust mop pre-treated with a dusting agent will pick up dust and dirt and prevent scratches. Vacuum your hardwood floor once a week. For lacquered floors, use the correct products and a combination of dry cleaning and damp cleaning to keep the floor looking brand new and protect it against scratches.
