Planning & Fitting
- Ensure the site is dry, with consistent temperature and humidity level (40–65% RH).
- If you’re fitting onto a concrete subfloor, it must be secure, clean, flat, level, and dry, i.e., checked for moisture content.
- The building must be weather-tight, with all outside doors and windows in place. All ‘wet’ work must be complete and thoroughly dry, and the subfloor must be secure, clean, flat, level, and dry.
- Ensure that the space is clear of furniture and ready for work to start.
When it comes to creating beautiful, long-lasting wood flooring, the aim is to keep the planks’ moisture content as stable as possible. We recommend acclimatising the boards on-site for at least 72 hours before installation.
-
- We strongly advise that a professional floor fitter carry out the installation.
- Our own experienced fitting team works across the UK. Contact us for a fitting quotation.
- We always recommend fully bonding the flooring to the subfloor wherever possible to achieve a solid, premium feel underfoot. To do this, your subfloor must be clean, flat, level, and dry.
- We recommend Pallmann P5 — a professional-grade, flexible, one-component wood flooring adhesive with excellent working time, strong bond strength, and very low emissions. This is stocked and available to order via our website, along with trowels and other fitting accessories.
- All our engineered oak floors are compatible with underfloor heating systems. These versatile boards are specifically designed to be structurally stable, resisting the wood’s natural expansions and contractions. For best performance:
- Maintain a surface temperature below 27°C
- Increase heat gradually when turning systems on/off (i.e., changing temperature by 1 degree per day).
- Use adhesives and underlays approved for UFH
Ordering & Delivery
We offer product samples so you can see the colour, texture, and finish up close. A small £5.95 charge covers handling and tracked 48-hour delivery.
Simply add a sample to your basket and order via our website.
You’ll need to know how many packs to order. To figure this out, you’ll need accurate measurements of the area (in m2) your flooring needs to cover.
Our online calculator will give you the number of full packs you need based on the m² area you provide (automatically including a wastage factor).
The calculator will automatically add on a standard 10% wastage factor (we strongly recommend including this wastage factor, but this can be removed by ticking the ‘remove wastage’ tick box).
Each pack contains 7 pre-finished engineered oak boards, securely packed face-to-face (depending on board width).
- 3 long boards (at 2.2 metres)
- 4 shorter boards (mixed lengths between 0.6m and 1.6m) totalling 4.4m
For 180mm-wide, each pack contains:
- 1.98 m² of flooring. Pack weight: just over 20kg*.
For 220mm-wide, each pack contains:
- 2.42m² of flooring. Pack weight: just over 25kg*.
*Due to their size and weight, we advise that these packs require a two-person lift.
Your flooring will arrive in sealed, protective packs. Larger orders are neatly stacked on pallets for safe, efficient transport.
- Local deliveries (typically within ~130 miles of Bristol) will usually be made using our own flatbed truck.
- Longer-distance deliveries are handled by our trusted freight partners, who provide kerbside delivery.
