Solid Wood Flooring Explained
Solid wood flooring is made from a single piece of timber throughout its thickness. This gives it unmatched authenticity, the ability to be sanded and refinished multiple times, and a truly classic look. Each board develops a unique patina over the years, making it a favourite for homeowners who want a floor with history and character.
Where Solid Wood Works Best
- Living and dining rooms for timeless elegance
- Bedrooms for a warm, natural underfoot feel
- Hallways and traditional interiors that highlight character
Installation Considerations
Solid wood floors are usually installed by secret nailing or glue-down methods. Because wood expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity, professional installation is strongly recommended. Acclimating the boards before fitting is essential for long-term stability.
Care & Maintenance
- Clean with a soft brush or vacuum regularly
- Use wood-safe cleaners – avoid harsh chemicals
- Refinish by sanding and resealing when the surface shows wear

Solid Wood Flooring – FAQs
Can solid wood flooring be sanded?
Yes. Solid wood can usually be sanded and refinished many times, which makes it a long-term investment compared to other flooring types.
Is solid wood suitable for kitchens?
Solid wood can be used in kitchens, but it requires careful maintenance and protection from excess moisture. Engineered or LVT may be more practical in high-moisture areas.
What is the difference between solid and engineered wood?
Solid wood is made from a single piece of timber, while engineered wood has a layered core topped with real wood. Solid can be refinished more often, but engineered is more stable against humidity and wider plank designs.
