Once again, I wanted to thank you all for a really great service. Everyone from the back office to the guys who came to fit the floor has been a real pleasure to deal with. The floors are absolutely amazing. They look so beautiful. Transformational.
Unfinished Engineered oak flooring is the perfect blend of beauty and practicality for any space. With its stunning natural wood appearance and customisation, it adds warmth and elegance while allowing you to create a finish that complements your space seamlessly.
Unfinished engineered oak flooring is a type of hardwood flooring made from multiple layers of wood, with a solid oak veneer on top and underlying layers of plywood or fibreboard. Unlike pre-finished options, unfinished engineered oak allows you to customise the finish, offering unmatched flexibility for creating a bespoke look.
The multi-layer construction makes it less prone to warping or shrinking, even in areas with changing temperatures. Whilst maintaining the same natural beauty and grain patterns as solid oak, it’s available in various thicknesses and can be installed over a range of subfloors, including concrete, and is compatible with underfloor heating, making it a highly adaptable choice for modern homes.
Unfinished engineered oak flooring offers a range of benefits, making it a popular choice for homeowners seeking a customisable and durable flooring solution:
To maintain unfinished engineered oak flooring, regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris. You should use a damp mop occasionally with a cleaner made for wood surfaces, avoiding excessive moisture that could seep into seams. We also suggest protecting the floor by placing felt pads under furniture legs and using area rugs in high-traffic areas to prevent scratches.
Yes, unfinished engineered oak flooring can be refinished, and this is one of its key advantages. The ability to refinish depends on the thickness of the top hardwood veneer layer. Many unfinished engineered oak floors have a sufficiently thick veneer to allow for sanding and refinishing, enabling you to refresh the floor’s appearance and extend its lifespan. Because the flooring is unfinished, you have the added flexibility to apply your preferred stain or treatment during refinishing, ensuring it matches your interior design.
Yes, unfinished engineered oak flooring is an excellent choice for homes with underfloor heating systems. Its multi-layer construction ensures the stability required to withstand the temperature fluctuations associated with this heating method.
Engineered oak and solid oak flooring each have unique characteristics, making them suitable for different applications and preferences. Here are some key comparisons:
This will depend on the style you are looking for. For example, prime grade offers a clean, uniform look, select grade has slight variations and small knots for a balanced appearance, and rustic grade showcases larger knots and natural character for a more traditional feel.
The cost of unfinished engineered oak flooring will vary widely depending on factors such as quality, thickness, and the source of the wood. You will also need to consider costs for installation, finishing, and any necessary underlayment. Contact us for a free, direct quote.

An excellent job, we are really pleased. We would also like to mention the team of craftsmen should be applauded not only for their work, but for the caring and helpful way they executed their endeavours, explained what they were doing, and generally pleasant to be around.
I have used West Sussex Antique Timber on two separate occasions and was hugely impressed both times. WSA timber fitted solid wood plank flooring and engineered wood parquet flooring in my home, both types of flooring being of excellent quality. The craftsmanship of the fitters is commendable and the finish is flawless. I would not hesitate to recommend the company for an outstanding product and service.
The door looks amazing, in no small part due to the care and attention lavished upon it by your carpenter, Ricky. He’s done a truly excellent job!
Please accept our thanks for the fantastic job your team has done on our floor, it has greatly exceeded our expectations and looks absolutely amazing. Not cheap but worth every penny, a testament to the saying “you get what you pay for”.
I would like to say how pleased I am with the restoration of the Parque floors. They look really lovely, such a difference from what was hidden underneath the old fitted carpet. Dave and Martin did a superb job and were a pleasure to have working here. We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone else.
