Why Choose Hardwood?
Natural Beauty
Every plank is unique — real wood grain, natural colour variation, and authentic texture create a floor with genuine character that improves with age.
Adds Property Value
Hardwood flooring is a recognized investment — it increases the desirability and resale value of any home, particularly in the Aberdeen property market.
Can Be Refinished
Unlike laminate or vinyl, solid and engineered hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times — giving you decades of beautiful flooring.
Engineered Options
Engineered hardwood offers real-wood beauty with enhanced dimensional stability — suitable for underfloor heating, concrete subfloors, and wider plank formats.
Solid & Engineered Hardwood
We supply and install both solid and engineered hardwood flooring. Solid hardwood — typically 18–22mm thick — is the traditional choice and can be sanded and refinished many times over its lifetime. Engineered hardwood features a real wood top layer bonded to a stable plywood core, offering excellent performance over underfloor heating and concrete subfloors.
Our range includes oak, ash, walnut, and maple in a variety of widths, grades, and finishes — from rustic hand-scraped textures to smooth, contemporary satin finishes. We work with trusted suppliers to source quality timber at competitive prices.
Whichever product you choose, our fitting standards remain the same: precise measurement, thorough preparation, professional installation, and a pristine finish you will be proud of.
Herringbone & Parquet Patterns
Parquet and herringbone patterns bring a sense of elegance and craftsmanship to any room. These classic designs — once found only in grand homes and period properties — are now one of the most sought-after flooring styles in modern interiors.
Herringbone and chevron installations require specialist skills and careful planning. Every block must be precisely cut and positioned to ensure the pattern is straight, symmetrical, and visually balanced across the room. We have extensive experience with patterned hardwood installation across Aberdeen.
We offer herringbone and chevron in both solid and engineered formats, in a range of timber species and finishes. Whether you want a traditional dark oak herringbone for a period property or a light engineered chevron for a modern open-plan space, we will deliver a result that exceeds expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is a single piece of timber — traditionally 18–22mm thick — that can be sanded and refinished many times. Engineered hardwood has a real wood top layer bonded to a plywood base, giving it better dimensional stability. Engineered is preferred over underfloor heating and concrete subfloors.
Can hardwood flooring go over underfloor heating?
Engineered hardwood is well-suited to underfloor heating systems. Solid hardwood is generally not recommended over UFH due to the risk of expansion and contraction. We will advise on the best product for your specific heating setup.
How long does hardwood flooring take to install?
A standard room typically takes 1–2 days. Herringbone and parquet patterns take longer due to the precision cutting and layout required — typically 2–3 days per room. Full house installations are scheduled to minimise disruption.
Does hardwood flooring need maintenance?
Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a wood-appropriate cleaner is all that is needed for daily care. We recommend professional re-oiling or re-lacquering every 5–10 years depending on traffic levels. We can advise on the best maintenance routine for your specific finish.
Can you sand and refinish existing hardwood floors?
Yes — if your existing hardwood floor is looking tired or damaged, sanding and refinishing can restore it to like-new condition. We assess the floor thickness and condition before recommending restoration. This is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement.
