What Is Solid Wood Flooring?
Solid timber flooring is manufactured from a single piece of hardwood throughout the board. Unlike layered constructions, it contains no composite core. This traditional format allows the surface to be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan.
Because it is a natural material, solid timber responds to environmental conditions and requires correct installation and acclimatisation.
Benefits of Solid Timber Flooring

Each board features natural grain variation, texture and colour unique to real hardwood.
