How to Choose Wood Flooring
How To Choose Your Perfect Floor
Engineered wood is a stylish and durable option for flooring that adds character and warmth to any space. However, with so many colours and design options to choose from, it can be diffcult to know where to start. Consider each of the design choices below to find your perfect floor.
1. Format
Are you considering planks or parquet? Once you know what format you want, consider which size would best suit your space.
2. Grade
Do you want your wood flooring to have plenty of natural character, or do you prefer a cleaner and more consistent look?
3. Texture
Consider an additional texture for your wood flooring such as brushing or cross-sawing, for even more character and warmth.
4. Colour
Are you looking for dark and dramatic, or more natural and lighter tones? Choose your favourite colour from our collections.
1. Format
Which flooring style and board size will suit your intended space? Decide on a plank or pattern, and your desired product dimensions.
Do you want a classic, traditional oak floorboard, extra-wide engineered oak boards, stylish herringbone, or another intricate parquet design?
Take a look at our project gallery and filter by board type to see inspirational projects featuring all our flooring formats.
2. Grade
Pick a grade – choose between Character or Prime for our oak boards.
Do you want natural, characterful wood flooring, or a cleaner, contemporary aesthetic?
See our Grading Guides for more information.
3. Texture
Consider an additional texture for your wood flooring.
Adding a brushed texture accentuates the unique grain structure of each floorboard. Combine it with cross-sawing to create an eye-catching, rustic floor that’s irresistably tactile. Alternatively, opt for a distressed plank to create a floor with an authentically aged appearance.
4. Colour
Choose your favourite finish.
Whether you’re after a lighter shade, warm mid-tone, or luxuriously dark wood flooring, we can create the perfect hard-wearing finish for your project.
