Walnut Engineered Wood Flooring

Walnut Engineered Wood

We have a full range of engineered wood flooring, including both oak and walnut floors. These come in a massive range of different finishes from lacquered through to rustic, and with easy installation options - including both click lok and tongue and groove.

Walnut engineered wood is a fantastic choice for any home or commercial space. It has a deep richness of colour that simply can’t be beaten. It is possible to get tinted or stained oak floors that mimic the dark colours of walnut, but they can’t compare to the genuine cherry, rich brown and red tones of real walnut flooring.

Oak vs Walnut Flooring

What are the benefits of oak vs walnut flooring? If you’re looking for engineered wood flooring, it can be hard to decide whether to choose oak or walnut for your floor.

Foot Traffic

Walnut is a much softer wood than oak, which means it’s best suited to rooms that experience less foot traffic than other spaces. If you work in a busy office, walnut might not be the best choice. It is, however, perfect for homes and is especially popular for home office spaces or living rooms.

Room Size

As walnut is a darker wood than oak, it’s often chosen for larger spaces. Darker floors can make spaces seem cosier. In some rooms, this works really well as it creates an intimate and comforting space. Consider the size of your room when your deciding between oak and walnut floors.

Colour

The colour of walnut engineered wood flooring is rich and complex. While oak flooring comes in a wider range of colours and stains, walnut is always much darker. It sometimes even has tints of purple in certain lights! It’s a good idea to order a free sample of your favourite walnut flooring options so you can view it in the lighting of your home. This is the best way to appreciate the depth of colour that walnut offers.

Furniture and Furnishings

If you have a lot of oak furniture, walnut might not present the best match. However, it goes very well with a huge variety of soft furnishings, leather sofas and white or dark wood furniture. It’s worth considering the room in which your new walnut engineered wood flooring will be placed to check it will best compliment your furniture.

Benefits of Engineered Wood Flooring

We have both walnut solid wood and walnut engineered wood flooring. Engineered wood flooring is the more popular choice as it has the same beautiful look as solid wood, but with additional benefits…

Moisture Resistant Flooring

Walnut engineered wood flooring doesn’t warp or become damaged when it comes into contact with moisture, making it the perfect choice for bathrooms and kitchens.

Heat Resistant

Engineered wood is also heat resistant. Because it’s made from layers of compressed timber, it can withstand changes in heat without warping. This makes it suitable for underfloor heating systems.

Durable

With multiple layers of compressed timber, engineered wood is a rigid and durable floorboard, often harder than solid wood options.

Resurfacing

It’s a common misconception that engineered wood can’t be resanded and resurfaced. While it can’t be done as many times as solid wood, most engineered wood floors can be resanded multiple times over the course of their lifetimes. This varies according to the thickness of its top layer, the veneer. A 4mm veneer can be resurfaced around 4 times.

Most floors don’t need surfacing for at least a decade after their first installation.
