Plank Dimensions

Wood flooring plank dimensions indicate the plank depth, width and length for each range. Wood Floorings are sold in packs, and contain multiple planks equating to a m2 coverage.

What types of Wood Flooring are there in store?

Solid wood flooring - Each plank consists of a piece of solid timber which is machined into a flooring plank, and then the surface is treated to create different textures and colours and then coated to create a finished plank ready to be installed. Solid wood floors must be fixed to the subfloor.

Engineered Wood Flooring - Each board consists of three or four layers of real wood, which are bonded together in a cross-ply construction. This means it is engineered to be more stable than a solid wood floor and is less affected by moisture changes from within the room of installation.

The top layer is usually a hard wood, and the other layers are soft wood species with a stabilising back layer. Engineered boards are also suitable to be laid over under-floor heating and can be laid floating or fully adhered to the subfloor if required.
