Types of Flooring
 

We specialise in the following types of flooring. A wide range of each type is on display in each of our showrooms.

 
Laminate

Laminate flooring has now become a popular choice in homes. It combines the warm effect of wooden flooring with strength and durability.

It succeeds where real wood, vinyl and carpet fail with exceptional resistance to impact as well as high resistance to shoe heels, scuffs, spillages, dirt and staining.

As such, it is ideal for kitchens, children’s bedrooms and hallways.

Laminate flooring is maintenance free and does not need polishing, sanding or sealing.

Almost all laminate floors can now be fitted without glue using a 'click' system. This makes it fast, clean and simple to lay and can be dismantled and re-installed if necessary.
 
Engineered

Engineered floors are also sometimes known as veneered floors or real wood laminates.

They provide a softer, more natural look than laminate floors using a real wood veneer but are not as resistant to abrasion or impact.

A number of engineered floors are also now being manufactured with a 'click' system.

A huge benefit of engineered floors is stability, which makes them the preferred choice in rooms with underfloor heating.
 

Solid

Commonly referred to as hardwood floors, solid floors are made from real wood throughout and are seen by many people as an investment rather than an expense.

Solid floors are generally 18-20mm thick and can be re-sanded, re-stained and re-sealed many times over.

Solid floors are genuinely floors for life.

 
Why Wood?

Here are just some of the reasons why more and more people are choosing wood floors in their homes today.

  • Wood is a natural, renewable source.
  • Wood floors are durable and can last for generations.
  • Wood floors beautify homes.
  • Wood floors are great for those who suffer from allergies and are often recommended by doctors - they have been shown to trap less animal fur, dust, pollen, mites and mould.
  • Wood floors add value to homes.

Colours & Finishes

All flooring types come in a variety of colours or species. Lighter colours, such as ash, beech, maple and light oak remain the most popular. Medium shades, such as cherry, are also popular but there is a growing trend towards the darker colours, such as smoked oak, walnut, merbau, jatoba and teak.

Wood floors also come in a number of different finishes. A lacquered finish in either matt, satin or gloss for durability or an oiled finish to enhance the natural beauty of the wood.


All floors come in an extensive array of designs and in a variety of different widths and lengths, each creating a different look and feel to the room.

Wood floors in particular can be laid in some very attractive patterns, herringbone being the most popular.
