Once you have a rough idea on which type/style of wood flooring you prefer, give us a call and we’ll help you with the whole process of selecting the right floor you’re your property, lifestyle and budget.

Solid wood flooring is the original wood flooring. Planks are cut from the log and are then kiln dried to a stable condition normally between 8 to 12% moisture level. They are then machined into various widths, lengths and grades. A profile is given either square edged or tongue and grooved. They are then finished at the factory with a lacquer or wax or in many cases are left unfinished to be finished on site by us.

Engineered flooring is basically a hardwood veneer on a cross ply base. It is far more stable than solid wood flooring which makes it suitable for use with under floor heating. The installation methods can be very different to Solid wood flooring. It comes in various thicknesses from about 10mm to 21mm.

Parquet flooring is traditionally solid blocks of wood that are laid together in various patterns to form beautiful decorative designs such as herring bone, checker board or basket weave. This very stable form of flooring is beautiful once laid and is therefore extremely popular. In recent years, this type of wood flooring has been produced as an Engineered Wood Floor which is very stable and can be fitted differently.

Laminate flooring is not actually wood. It is basically a photograph of a wood grain that has been laminated onto a hard backing (HDF) and is normally between 7 to 12mm thick. In many cases the grain is so good that it looks just like wood. It is the easiest of the four choices to install, and is also the very durable, but if you do rip the surface layer it is not fixable. Our advice with laminate flooring is to go for the best you can afford as you do get what you pay for.

Choosing a Wooden Floor – Typical Considerations

Whichever flooring you decide to purchase, you will need to take into account the unique circumstances of your life. The four types of wood flooring are very different and each offers a unique set of pros and cons. This can make it confusing, but it also means that there is sure to be one that is right for you.

Wood species: Oak, Beech, Maple, Cherry, Walnut, Ash or Chestnut is popular or would you prefer a more exotic species such as Merbau, Jatoba or Wenge?
Structure: What’s suitable for you? Is it solid wood, engineered wood, planks, parquets? Your environment and budget will help determine this.
Hardness: Different species have different hardness ratings. Your environment and lifestyle will determine this choice.
Finish: Do you prefer lacquered, oiled, brushed or scraped? This choice depends on both your lifestyle and your personal taste.
Cost: Cost will be determined by all of the above as well as the Subfloor costs that may be required.
