Engineered floors - these are made of layers of different types of wood. They are extremely stable and can be installed either onto a flat existing floor or floating over an underlay. Engineered floors are ideal for underfloor heating.

Pre-finished floors - these are either varnished or oiled and ready to be installed. They do not require any other treatment, which makes installation fairly quick.

Varnished floors - these are painted with a natural varnish that forms a thin film over the top layer. Oiled floors go through the same process but the oil absorbs into the grain of the wood. Varnished floors can come in many different colours while oiled floors are more restricted.

Finish - a floor’s finish is the mechanical machining of the surface. This can be sanded, brushed, scraped etc. Each different process gives the flooring a different appearance.
