Floor type

Solid Hardwood

Timber the way it used to be done.

Solid boards, milled from a single piece of hardwood — sanded flat, finished on-site to the exact colour and sheen you want. The floor that outlives the house.

§ 03 · Questions

Good to know.

Solid vs engineered — which is better?+

Solid is longer-life and more refinishable; engineered is more stable and UFH-friendly. Room and subfloor decide.

Can you restore my old floorboards?+

Yes — lifting, replacing damaged boards, gap-filling, sanding and finishing. It's often cheaper than a new floor.
