Each wooden plank is its own individual piece boasting characteristics such as knots, colour variation and distinctive grains for a unique look every time. There are two main variations when it comes to real wood flooring: solid wood flooring and engineered wood flooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid wood flooring is created from a single piece of wood. This means that the core and the surface of the plank are made from the same material, typically from a hardwood such as Oak. While the appearance of both types is very similar, looking nearly identical on the surface, engineered wood flooring is slightly different in its construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered wood utilises different layers sandwiched together. The top layer is made of real wood, also known as the wear layer, where footfall will contact the flooring. Below this comes a layer of either plywood or softwood that forms the core of the plank. The final layer consists of veneer to create balance for the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you choose solid wood or engineered wood, each plank is machined to perfection and then lacquered for a fine finish. If you are interested in the differences between Engineered Wood vs Solid Wood then please read our guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/advice-centre\/engineered-vs-laminate-vs-solid-wood\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the Main Benefits of Real Wood Flooring?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether old or new, real wood adds character and style to any property making it a top choice for quality flooring. We’ve compiled some of the best advantages you’ll see from investing in real wood flooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDurability and Resilience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal wood floors are incredibly resistant to everyday wear and tear making them a highly durable choice for rooms with high footfall. Both solid and engineered show little signs of ageing over time and even if scratches begin to surface, the floor can be easily sanded to be restored to its original appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChic and Classic Style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s no denying that real wood flooring is an incredibly stylish flooring choice for all homes. Wood looks warm and attractive in any situation and our wide variety of cuts and finishes mean you can really make this look your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncreased Warmth in the Home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can't mistake the feel of real wood in a home. Compared to tiled or laminate flooring, wood flooring offers a natural warmth under your feet as well as a comfortable surface to walk on. It may come as a surprise but wood is also a much better conductor of heat in contrast to carpet meaning warmth can be retained for longer during cold winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLimited Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood flooring offers great benefits in creating a sense of acoustic comfort. The unique density and fibrous structure of wood means it effectively dampens sound vibrations, minimising the transfer of noise between floors and rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLong Lifespan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal wood flooring provides the kind of quality that lasts for years to come. Engineered wood flooring can last 20 to 30 years, while solid wood flooring can reach upwards of 30 to 50 years, even extending to 100 years if properly installed and maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to Clean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAs real wood flooring has no surface fibres to trap dust or dirt, it can be easily looked after with regular sweeping and mopping.

Here are our top picks for the best rooms to install your wood flooring:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLiving Rooms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith real wood floors, you can elevate the look and feel of your living room, making it a bright, inviting, and stylish space for all to enjoy. With the ease of cleaning up spills, pet dander, and dust, you can spend less time worrying about messes and more time relaxing in your living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBedrooms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe airy breathable nature of real wood makes it the perfect choice for decorating a bedroom where it can quickly feel stuffy and suffocating especially during the summer. Opting for a light wood appearance can also brighten up your room and create a great base for accenting with decor of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDining Rooms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to the living room, spills and stains can be a frequent occurrence in the dining room. Having flooring that can easily rectify these little accidents is the best choice here and with various shades to choose from, you can create a memorable space to host any number of people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs Real Wood Flooring Expensive?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a highly individual appearance and handmade finish, real wood flooring can often be more expensive than other floors, such as laminate and vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from the cost of the flooring itself, this type of flooring takes a lot of care and attention to make sure they don't wear and tear in places susceptible to particularly high levels of foot traffic. For homeowners who wish to use solid wood flooring in their bathrooms in particular, maintenance costs of regular oiling, lacquering and cleaning can make it a high-cost venture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut there are budget-friendly options for those who are still keen to add real wood flooring to their home. Engineered wood for example is slightly less expensive with prices beginning at £25.97 for the Abbey Nunraw Golden Oak 10mm Brushed Matt Lacquer Engineered Floor - the perfect option for flooring that is beautiful to look at but won’t break the bank compared to solid wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Can I Purchase Real Wood Flooring?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFDF carries an extensive range of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/real-wood-flooring\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ereal wood flooring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, with a full spectrum of colours and shades, from oak, to light, to dark, to grey, and options between solid wood and engineered wood. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDon’t worry if you’re pondering over one or the other, we have \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/free-samples\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003efree samples\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e available on all of our flooring types, meaning you can see what the flooring will look like in your home before you commit to buying. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen browsing through our products, you’ll see the option to view the product or ‘add sample’.
