Wood Flooring

A wood floor can change the aesthetics of your room with its beautiful and unique grain patterns and characterful look. Although the finish of a wood floor can affect the feel of the room, the width of the planks is also important to consider as this can change the look of a room dramatically. Wooden planks are sold in various widths from narrow 80mm wide strips to ultra wide 220mm boards - your choice can make a room look bigger, busier, cosier or even more relaxed so it's important to know which width to go for to create the look you desire. Here we will discuss the look narrow or wide planks will achieve!

The type of wood used for solid and engineered wood flooring can vary to create unique and interesting finishes. Although Oak is primarily the prime wood type used for wood flooring, there are numerous other different wood flooring species whose beauty and benefits can’t be ignored.

Here I will talk through some key facts about a few of the most popular wood types to help you understand the benefits of each one that little bit more.
