About Solid Wood Floors
Solid wood floors are manufactured from a single piece of timber, and offer the consumer the most authentic and natural wood flooring option possible.
Solid wood floors are normally 18-20mm thick; therefore they can take years of wear, and the stresses of everyday life. They can also be sanded down and re-finished numerous times, which truly makes a solid wood floor a floor for life.
When choosing a solid wood floor, there can be a range of different widths, lengths and finishes available to you. The most common width range for solid wood floors tends to be between 130-150mm, although depending on species solid wood floors can be as narrow as 90mm, and up to 200mm wide.
With ease and convenience becoming increasingly important to consumers, prefinished solid wood floors are the most popular option when it comes to choosing a wood floor. The two main finishes to decide between are an oiled or lacquered finish. However there are many other finishing options to consider like brushed, hand-scraped, stained, distressed, and eco-oiled. Alternatively consider purchasing an unfinished solid wood floor and have it finished in a colour or finish of your choice once fitted.
Solid wood floors have many variants, but none greater than the actual species of wood floors available. The majority of solid wood floors sold are oak, although there is a plenty of choice available, including walnut, ash, maple, and many exotic species like merbau, jatoba, wenge, and tiger wood to name just a few.
Virtually all solid wood floors are put together with a tongue and groove fitting, and the most common methods of installation are to stick down using an elastic adhesive or to secret nail. Because of the natural way solid wood floors expand and contract you should not float the floor onto an flooring underlay, although new systems are now available such as full stick down underlays, and hybrid underlay systems such as the Sika Acoubond system.
