Wooden Floor Solutions Ltd care about all the products they source, not only where they purchase new wood, whether solid or engineered, but also offer a renovation or reclaimed wood options. All of which have benefits regarding the effect to the environment. Genuine reclaimed timber boards produce stunning and highly individual floors which can enhance any traditional or period restoration. There are a wide variety of woods for reclaimed parquet blocks or Versailles panel flooring that can be sourced such as Oak, Rhodesian Mahogany, Beech, Opepe, Sapele, Rhodesian Teak, etc.

Below is a small selection of classic responsibly sourced woods, together with examples of reclaimed and exotic woods. Although these exotic woods when new are not as environmentally friendly but are available as reclaimed woods. These kiln-dried woods can be used unfinished, oiled, brush oiled, lacquered, fumed or double fumed to create an intensity of colours and effects (see Finishes for more details). More information about reclaimed woods and parquet flooring can be found in our Restoration Section.

The beautiful character of a real wooden floor makes a unique, warm and inviting addition to any home. Whether it is the natural beauty of unfinished or the polished appearance of oiled or lacquered wood, your investment has a long life expectancy which will probably outlast the building and is a good thermal insulator. Your wooden floor, with its strength and durability, will age gracefully, reducing allergens and making your home a healthier and cleaner place to live. We offer a wide range of natural solid woods and engineered woods in varying thicknesses, widths and finishes, allowing you to live with nature.

There are two ways of protecting your wooden floor against moisture, spillages and dirt - oil & waxes or lacquers. The benefits of oil waxes is that it gives the flooring a warmth with a natural silky smooth finish and natural appearance. The floors look better and better over time and age gracefully. The benefits of lacquers are that they are maintenance free. Oil waxes protect the floor in two ways, the oil is absorbed into the pores of the wood giving an internal protection which stops, dirt embedding itself and also forms a surface layer that creates a resistant coating which protects against spillages, water and moisture.

There are pros and cons to under floor heating from expansion and contraction due to the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, to the warping or splitting of wood. Several factors need to be taken into consideration before choosing your wood and heating system. Wood is a living material that moves so the humidity or lack of it can create cracks especially with extra sensitive woods such as Beech or Maple therefore they need to be avoided. The temperature should not rise above 27°C and carpets or rugs should be avoided for extended periods.
