Which oak flooring is best?
Need a little help choosing which oak floor is best for you?
Industrial & Scientific
Home & Kitchen (sometimes referred to as Multi-Ply oak flooring) is made up of multiple layers of timber to create an extremely stable floor. The top layer (called a Lamella or wear layer) is solid oak and can be sanded and refinished many times if required. Its appearance is identical to solid oak flooring once installed. Due to it’s excellent stability, it is suitable for most domestic applications, and can be also be installed over many underfloor heating systems.
It is available in a huge variety of widths, thicknesses and finishes, plus a few unfinished options. It is also available with textured finishes such as the scraped and brushed finish shown in this photo. Engineered flooring can be secret nailed, glued or floated.
Engineered oak flooring is also an excellent option for commercial applications such as offices, meeting rooms and board rooms.

Each board is machined from one solid piece of oak. It is suitable for many domestic applications, and can be sanded and refinished as many times as is needed (it’s been known to last for hundreds of years!). We supply unfinished Individual Unison Soft Pastels (the floor in this photo has been finished with OS wax oil). We don’t recommend fitting solid flooring over underfloor heating, or in rooms with excessive fluctuations in humidity and temperature. Solid oak floorboards can be secret nailed or glued (subject to the type of subfloor).
