Oak Flooring – A Natural And Sustainable Choice

25/03/2015

Oak wood flooring is ideally suited for use in both domestic and commercial environments thanks to its clean, sophisticated look and its strength and durability.

In residential developments, it can add value and act as a major selling point, and in offices, shops and restaurants, it can transform otherwise bland spaces into fresh and stylish areas.

The Solid Wood Flooring Company stocks a vast choice of solid and engineered oak flooring in an almost limitless range of colours, sheens and finishes to match your interior design requirements.

Our natural light oak boards come in a variety of widths, from 150mm to 340mm, and in lengths of up to 2200mm, or 5000mm for the 340mm width boards, so you’ll find something to match every renovation project.

A natural and sustainable choice

Oak floors are one of the greenest flooring options available, as using wood instead of other building materials saves around 0.9 tonnes of CO2 per cubic metre.

By increasing the wood content of a building you can subsequently reduce its carbon footprint, helping to meet emission reduction targets and comply with environmental building regulations.

The Solid Wood Flooring Company takes wood flooring sustainability very seriously as a member of the Forest Stewardship Council and the Timber Trade Foundation, and we never purchase materials derived from rainforests.

We buy all our real wood floors from the best managed forests and when necessary, we obtain materials from other countries to make sure that tree planting outweighs harvesting.

Another eco-friendly feature of oak flooring is that it acts as a natural insulator, keeping buildings cool in hot weather and warm when it’s colder outside, which can help to bring down energy costs.

Durable and long lasting

Two of the main advantages of oak wood flooring are its durability and its longevity. Depending on the stains and finishes used, oak floors can last for many years, with little need for extensive maintenance.

Our industrial quality lacquered oak floors are particularly resistant to wear and tear, making them a great value-for-money option when compared to other types of flooring. 

Oiled oak floors do require more care than lacquered boards, but with regular use of a simply maintenance kit, they too can look brand new for years to come.

Solid and engineered oak flooring also has excellent acoustic properties and doesn’t create the hollow sound that laminate can create when it’s walked on, making it an ideal choice for high-class interiors. 

Oak wood flooring options

The Solid Wood Flooring Company can provide oak wood flooring to your exact specifications, whether you’re renovating a home or fitting out a brand new inner city office block.

Our oak boards react well to treatments, which substantially increases the shades and colour options available. 

Choose from unfinished wood flooring sanded to 120 grit, brushed and oiled oak flooring using Blanchon or WOCA oils and waxes to create individual looks, or lacquered boards for maximum resilience.

We buy direct from the manufacturers, so we’re able to offer extremely competitive oak wood flooring prices. Contact us now to order samples of our oak wood flooring or to find out more about the products we offer.
