Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Our 21mm engineered hardwood flooring combines traditional oak aesthetics with modern stability. The three-layer construction features premium oak or ash wear layers bonded to plywood bases. This design minimises expansion issues while maintaining authentic wood characteristics, making it ideal for both heritage and contemporary projects requiring dimensional stability.
Underfloor Heating Installation
Specifically engineered for underfloor heating compatibility, our flooring maintains stability across temperature and moisture fluctuations. Technical advisors collaborate with heating engineers to ensure correct installation parameters. This expertise, developed through 19 years of installations, eliminates common hardwood flooring issues when used with modern heating systems.
Custom Board Manufacturing
We produce boards in standard widths from 140-200mm, with made-to-order options available for wider dimensions. Minimum orders apply for custom widths, requiring eight weeks production time. This flexibility allows architects to specify precise dimensions while maintaining our quality standards.
FSC Certified Solutions
Our FSC-certified options ensure responsible sourcing from well-managed forests. This environmental commitment extends to factory operations where production waste fuels winter heating. We provide documentation for projects requiring verified sustainable materials.
Pre-Finished Flooring
Factory-applied finishes include natural oils and Treatex hardwax options, with ammonia fuming available for distinctive tones. Pre-finishing ensures consistent quality while reducing on-site work. Clients can choose from standard finishes or request custom treatments for specific design requirements.
