Oak Engineered Wood Flooring

What Are The Benefits of Engineered Oak Wood Flooring?

Oak is one of the most popular styles of flooring as it is so versatile and comes in many different colours. It is instantly recognisable from its natural appearance and natural grain. As engineered oak flooring is composed with real oak at the top, it gives the appearance of real oak wooden flooring but is much more hardwearing.

Having an oak floor is extremely desirable, but can be difficult to keep in pristine condition if made from solid oak. Instead, consider oak engineered wood flooring, which is more durable and less likely to become dented or damaged as much. Engineered wood flooring is also easy to install, with tongue and groove technology to help the boards clip together without much fuss.

What Are The Different Styles Of Engineered Oak Flooring?

As mentioned, oak is an extremely versatile wood which can come in many different shades and styles. Whether you want to bring some warmth to your room or make the room appear bigger and brighter, you’ll be sure to find an oak floor in the colour you need.

• • White / grey oak – If you’re looking for a cool, contemporary style to your room, white or grey oak engineered wood flooring can give you that aesthetic. It bridges a gap between modern and homely, allowing your room to still feel warm, rather than clinical.


• • Light natural oak – This style works well if you want to have a warmer feel to your room but also want to enhance the light within it. Light oak styles can look beautiful in kitchens and hallways, creating an inviting feel to the home.


• • Stained / lacquered oak – This is a more traditional oak style that is instantly recognisable. Perfect for country cottage designs and rustic rooms, this is a truly classic flooring option.


• • Dark oak – If you want to add depth to your room and create drama, a dark wood floor can offer stunning results.

Engineered Oak Flooring Cost

Engineered wood flooring costs usually sit somewhere between laminate and solid wood flooring. This is because it is a hybrid of the two flooring styles and, therefore, offers the best of both worlds. Many people often choose engineered oak flooring over solid wood as it is much more durable and resistant to wear and tear. It is also usually much cheaper in comparison.

Of course, the oak flooring cost will depend on the style you choose, the thickness of the solid wood veneer on the product and the size of your room. Remember to factor in underlay costs and beading to finish off the edge of your floors.
