With its beautiful and unique grain patterns and signature look, wood flooring can completely transform your room’s aesthetics. While the finish of a wood floor can affect the feeling of the room, it is also important to consider the width of the planks as this can drastically change the appearance of a space. At Flooring365 our boards are available in different widths, ranging from narrow 50mm wide strips to super-wide 300mm boards. Depending on which you choose, you could make a room look bigger, busier, more comfortable, or more relaxed. Either way, knowing the width will help you to create an optimal room design for your home.
Due to its composition, wide plank oak flooring is more likely to warp due to temperature and humidity changes. Therefore, it's only with the innovation of engineered wood that wide plank wood floors can now be installed without the worry of a warped floor.
Engineered wood floors are made from a base of 3-12 structural sublayers and then topped with a solid hardwood top layer so you won’t notice the difference once laid. The multi-layer structure of our extra wide engineered wood flooring gives it extra strength, stability, and durability. The enhanced stability allows us to provide extra wide floorboards up to 300mm whilst still providing higher resistance to warping caused by environmental changes.
Engineered wood flooring is the perfect choice for wider boards thanks to the added stability that comes with the structural sublayers. That’s why our range of extra wide engineered wood flooring goes as wide as 300mm, offering unlimited interior potential.
While wood is a natural material that can be susceptible to scratches, it is durable enough to withstand daily use, even in busy households. Some finishes, such as a lacquer varnish, provide slightly more protection.
Contrary to popular belief, wide plank flooring can make a room appear larger than it really is since the lack of joints helps to trick our brains into thinking there is more space. This well-known interior design trick has been used for decades and works just as well with light or dark floors, providing there are contrasting features and furniture. Due to this, our extra wide plank flooring is an ideal choice for narrow hallways or smaller living rooms. Wide plank oak flooring also makes an excellent choice for open plan living spaces, allowing you to continue into other rooms.
In most cases, wide plank flooring will make a room appear larger than it actually is. Whereas narrow boards have a lot of joints which can make the space feel busy and cluttered.
While there are various opinions on when you should use wide planks, in our experience it is all up to personal preference, and there are no rules for your room's size, shape, or features. However, it is no secret that wide plank oak flooring can create optical illusions when it comes to room size. Contrary to popular belief, this helps to make narrow corridors look more spacious, as well as helping to make large open rooms look cosier. It all comes down to the design of your room, from where and how you place your flooring to what style, colour, or finish you decide on. You can make use of our unlimited free samples to get a feel for the scale and how your chosen flooring will fit in your room.
Our extra wide engineered wood flooring has a hardwood surface layer, so it is not waterproof. Small spillages are not a problem if you clean them up quickly (within 2-3 hours). However, you shouldn't leave puddles to sit for too long as liquids can seep into the wood and warping can occur. Lacquer finishing can provide more resistance but does not make the flooring waterproof. If you require waterproof flooring, have a look at our LVT range.
Ultimately, it depends on what you want from your flooring. Wide plank flooring is easier to install since there are fewer boards to lay. However, this does mean that more offcuts may be required in smaller installations or awkwardly shaped rooms. Wide plank oak flooring also gives a more luxurious appearance; however, the boards do cost more to show for this. Ultimately, it's down to your personal preference, style, and requirements.
Wide plank flooring such as our extra wide engineered wood flooring is considered trendy, and although we cannot predict the future, we can’t see wide plank floors going out of style. Like with parquet flooring, wide plank floors have kept their luxurious feel since they will always be slightly more difficult to source, and without a sudden growth of trees, that won’t change anytime soon.
Unfortunately, wide plank floors will always be slightly more expensive than narrower boards. Again, this is due to the fact that they’re harder to source. In fact, you’ll often find that the wider the boards, the bigger the price tag.
Here at Flooring365, our wide plank engineered wood flooring ranges from 151-200mm and our extra wide engineered wood flooring ranges between 201-290mm.
Yes, wide plank flooring is still heavily favoured by most interior designers and can suit a multitude of different designs from minimalist and contemporary to rustic and farmhouse.
To prevent warping, it's best to acclimate your engineered wood flooring. This allows it to adjust to the temperature and humidity conditions in your home. For optimal results, you should acclimatise your flooring for at least 48 hours. To do this, lay your flooring horizontal in the room where it will be installed. This is particularly important with our extra wide engineered wood flooring. The wider and longer the boards are, the more chance of warping, so prior preparation is key to a long-lasting flooring solution.
Our extra wide engineered wood floors can be installed in the same way that any other engineered wood floor would be laid, providing they share the same installation method. The only differences will be the number of boards that need to be fitted, and the number of boards that need to be cut. For more information on how to install wood flooring, visit our DIY installation guide.
Unfinished floors are not stained, oiled, or lacquered, allowing you to finish the flooring as you see fit. To ensure your flooring is durable, you must finish your boards before you can install them.
This finish is achieved by brushing the wood with a steel comb. This helps to enhance the natural character and texture of the wood. You can then treat the flooring with oil or lacquer, as described below. You can then treat the flooring with oil or lacquer, as described below.
This effect aims to recreate the traditional look of wood flooring when it was hand finished by a professional craftsman and each board had unique characteristics. This finish especially looks good on glossy, lacquered boards where the reflection highlights the waviness of the finish.
Aged flooring is created by adding light wear to the surface of engineered wood planks to create an established, worn look reminiscent of vintage or reclaimed wood.
Varying levels of ageing are available, depending upon your style preference, giving an impression of short and longer-term wear.
Give an old and worn feel to a new hardwood floor by opting for a distressed finish. The imperfections of a distressed floor are more pronounced than in brushed or aged finishes. This makes them ideal for rustic-themed homes or as a nice contrast in modern and minimalist homes.
Lacquer is a varnish that dries to produce a hard, durable finish. It is applied to the flooring to reduce the damage caused by spillages and as an additional wear layer. The durable qualities of a lacquered finish make it a popular choice for more chaotic areas of the home.
A wide range of lacquers are available including gloss, matt, and satin matt. All of which can be clear or coloured.
Oil seeps into the wood and maintains the surface texture of wood flooring while providing some resistance to damage. Unlike Lacquered finishes, oiled flooring does not create a surface layer and therefore usually requires more maintenance and care over spillages.
Oak is the most popular choice when it comes to wood flooring. Engineered oak flooring offers the exact appearance of a hardwood oak floor, thanks to the veneer layer of solid wood. Our oak engineered flooring can cope with heat, humidity, and heavy foot traffic much better than your average oak floor. Whether you prefer red or white oak, our extra wide engineered wood flooring offers plenty of choice with a huge range of products available in various finishes. Oak floors also have a much tighter grain variation, resulting in less difference in grains and texture between each board. If this is something that appeals to you, then you should consider looking at our prime-grade oak flooring options too.
Walnut is the less popular option of the two and this is mostly because it's a rarer product that is harder to source and therefore more expensive to buy. However, for those seeking a luxurious touch to their flooring design, our extra wide walnut floors are the perfect choice. With a rich and elegant appearance, walnut flooring is ideal for grand entrances and large living rooms. Walnut flooring features vibrant colours and wider grains compared to oak, giving it a unique and striking character. However, walnut floors do tend to have more variation from plank to plank, so if you're looking for a more uniform appearance, then walnut floors may not be for you.
Generally speaking, board thickness is a case of personal preference. However, thicker boards do tend to be more hard-wearing and provide a slightly improved sound reduction performance. Therefore, you may want to consider opting for thicker boards in an upstairs apartment or bedroom. As well as this, thicker boards are usually more suited to higher traffic areas, where they can withstand greater use.
If you're using a water-based underfloor heating system, it's important that your flooring isn't too thick. Otherwise, it could prevent the transfer of heat into the room. We recommend using flooring with a maximum board thickness of 15MM with 4/4.5MM Underfloor Heating Suitable Underlay.
The wear layer refers to the top, aesthetic surface layer of real wood, which gives the engineered flooring its look. Thicker wear layers, whilst usually more expensive, offer greater durability and the option to sand more frequently, meaning flooring can be refreshed more times before being replaced.
Most engineered wood floors, regardless of the thickness of the wear layer, will provide years of use, maintaining their impressive appearance.
In most cases, sanding the top layer of engineered wood flooring will remove up to 1MM of surface, with a minimum of 1MM leftover for protection. As a rough guide, here’s the number of times a floor can be sanded, based on the initial wear layer thickness:
3mm: 1-2 times
4mm: 2-3 times
5mm: 3-4 times
6mm: 4-5 times
(Please note: Sanding times is a guide only, the number of times a floor can be sanded will vary on an individual basis.)
This is the most common way to install extra wide engineered wood flooring. The tongue and groove method makes installation simple. Just slot your boards together gluing them down into place. The glue means tongue and groove flooring is free of nails, making it visually appealing and safe to walk barefoot.
You can install tongue and groove flooring onto a layer of underlay as a floating floor. Underlay has many benefits, such as providing sound dampening and protecting your flooring from moisture and temperature changes.
Click Lok flooring has a profiled edge which creates a glue-free, interlocking fitting system. Simply, push, drop, click, and lock the boards into place for a sturdy floor installation.
If you have a suitable subfloor (flat and sturdy surface such as concrete), you can glue your flooring down with a strong adhesive. Glued installation works better with thicker boards and creates a very stable and sturdy floor.
