Collection: Solid Timber Flooring

Both solid timber and engineered timber flooring offer a classic, aesthetic appeal and come ready to install. The main difference between the two flooring options is that while solid timber floors consist of sole, solid hardwood planks, engineered timber flooring consists of a tough, rigid plywood base beneath an outward layer of hardwood timber. The base offers a solid core, with the top layer providing a similar look to that of classic timber flooring. Engineered timber flooring is generally able to withstand more moisture and humidity than solid timber flooring.

Solid timber flooring offers a classic look and feel — and its ability to withstand multiple sandings and polishings means it can last for decades. With their durable surface, solid timber floors are generally able to withstand scratches and dents and are therefore a good option for high-traffic areas in the house, such as living areas. However, solid timber flooring may not be the best option for high-moisture areas or in spaces with higher than average humidity levels.
