Types of wood flooring

When choosing wood flooring, there are several high-quality options to consider, depending on your style preferences and budget:

  • Solid Hardwood: Made from a single piece of wood, solid hardwood is durable and can be sanded and refinished multiple times. It’s an excellent choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas.
  • Engineered Wood: Composed of multiple layers of wood, engineered wood offers stability and moisture resistance, making it suitable for spaces like kitchens or areas with underfloor heating.
  • Parquet Flooring: Known for its decorative patterns, parquet flooring offers a timeless, classic look and is ideal for creating a statement floor in any room.

Cost of wood floor installation

The cost of wood floor installation can vary based on the type of wood and the area being covered:

  • Solid Hardwood: Installation costs for solid hardwood typically range between £50 to £100 per square metre, depending on the complexity of the project and the type of wood chosen.
  • Engineered Wood: Engineered wood installation is slightly more affordable, with costs ranging from £40 to £80 per square metre.
  • Parquet Flooring: Due to its intricate designs, parquet flooring may cost more to install, typically ranging from £70 to £120 per square metre.

How long does wood floor installation take?

The time required to install wood flooring varies depending on the size of the space and the type of flooring:

  • Small Areas: For a standard kitchen or bedroom, installation usually takes 1 to 3 days, including preparation and finishing.
  • Larger Spaces: For larger areas, such as an open-plan living area or the entire home, installation can take 4 to 7 days or more, especially if intricate patterns or custom finishes are involved.

This timeline accounts for any necessary subfloor work, underlay installation, and finishing tasks like sanding and staining.

Other wood flooring FAQs

Does wood flooring need an underlay?

Yes, most wood flooring installations require an underlay to provide insulation, reduce noise, and protect against moisture.

Where not to install hardwood flooring?

Hardwood flooring should not be installed in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms or below-grade basements, as it can warp or become damaged due to water exposure.

How do you prepare a floor for hardwood flooring?

To prepare a floor for hardwood installation, the subfloor must be clean, dry, and level.
