Not sure which range is right for the room?
Book a free measureHalls, stairs and landings take more footfall per square metre than any other space in the house, because every single trip through the front door crosses them. A hard-wearing, tightly woven or tightly locked floor holds its look here far longer than a soft, deep-pile choice that shows a path within a few months.
Stairs also carry their own measuring rules: fitting is priced by the step, not by area, because winders, nosings and the landing all take a fitter's time that a flat room does not. That is confirmed properly at the home measure rather than guessed online.
Engineered Wood questions
What makes it "engineered" rather than solid wood?
Engineered wood has a real timber top layer bonded onto layers of plywood or board underneath. That construction copes far better with the temperature and humidity changes of a normal home than solid wood, while keeping a genuine wood surface you can see and feel.
Why is engineered wood sold by the pack?
Like LVT and laminate, engineered wood boards are boxed into fixed-size packs, so the pack-area rule rounds your floor area up to the next whole pack rather than pricing a continuous roll.
Can it be sanded and refinished later?
Most engineered boards can be lightly sanded and refinished once or twice over their life, depending on how thick the real-wood top layer is. That figure is shown in the specification table for each range.
Is it suitable for a kitchen?
It copes with normal kitchen life but is not fully waterproof, so standing water and heavy splashing are best avoided. For a wet-prone kitchen, LVT is usually the safer choice.
How long does fitting take?
Engineered wood is usually a little slower to fit than laminate because the boards are heavier and the room needs to acclimatise first. Darcy confirms timing and any acclimatisation period at the home measure.
