Our solution

Engineered wide plank flooring was the right choice here: dimensionally stable, visually striking, and well suited to glue-down installation over concrete. We handled the full scope from subfloor inspection through to final site clearance.

Why engineered wide plank?

 

Wide plank engineered flooring offers two key advantages. First, the cross-layer plywood construction minimises expansion and contraction, making it more stable than solid wood in areas with variable moisture, such as kitchens or ground-floor rooms. Second, the wider boards display more of the wood’s natural character: larger patterns, visible knots, and a more spacious feel overall.

FAQs about this wide plank flooring project

Wide solid boards are more prone to warping in variable conditions. Engineered planks have a plywood base that minimises expansion and contraction, making them more stable, especially important for wider boards.

Yes. The dimensional stability of engineered flooring makes it a good choice for areas with higher or variable moisture levels.

The boards are adhered directly to the subfloor using a suitable adhesive. This creates a stable, solid feel underfoot and reduces movement over time.

Bona matt lacquer, a professional-grade finish that protects the surface while maintaining a natural, low-sheen appearance.

Yes. We inspect and prepare subfloors before installation, and can remove existing flooring and clear the site on completion.
