Types of Hardwood Flooring
Here's a look at some of our most popular types of hardwood flooring and their features.
Click-fit hardwood flooring is a brilliant option for those who want a stylish floor with an easier installation process. The click-lock system allows each plank to snap together without the need for nails or glue. This reduces installation time and costs, which makes it a more cost-effective option if you're hoping to not break the bank. Despite the simpler fitting, there's no compromise on appearance — it's available in a wide range of finishes and wood types.
Wood flooring combines the beauty of real wood with added stability, thanks to the multi-layered construction. These floorboards are suitable for use over underfloor heating and in areas where solid wood might not perform well. Available in a wide range of finishes, grades, and plank sizes, our wood flooring offers exceptional value and style.
As well as the flooring material itself, the layout of the planks is something else you might like to consider.
Herringbone Design
A classic look that's seen a massive resurgence in recent years, herringbone hardwood flooring adds elegance and texture to any room. This parquet-style layout involves laying smaller planks in a zigzag pattern, creating a truly eye-catching effect. It's ideal for both period properties and modern spaces looking for a sophisticated twist. Herringbone floors are typically available in oak, but we also offer a variety of finishes to suit your décor.
Wide Plank Flooring
Wide plank hardwood flooring delivers a clean, modern look that makes rooms feel more spacious. Because each board covers more surface area, the natural grain of the wood really stands out, showcasing the timber's unique character. This style works particularly well in open-plan spaces or where you want to create a more relaxed, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic. Available in both solid and engineered wood options.

Other Hard Flooring Types
If you love the look of wooden flooring but need something more practical, we also offer a wide selection of hardwood flooring alternatives that are durable, water-resistant, and budget-friendly:
Laminate Flooring - Laminate gives the look of real wood at a more affordable price. It's tough, scratch-resistant, and great for high-traffic areas.
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) - LVT is a stylish, resilient flooring choice that combines durability with high-end looks. It mimics natural wood or stone textures but is far easier to maintain and completely waterproof — perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and busy family homes.
Vinyl Sheet Flooring - Vinyl sheet flooring is ideal for large spaces where you want a seamless look. It's affordable, low-maintenance, and comes in a huge variety of designs — including wood, tile, and abstract patterns.
Choosing the Best Hardwood Flooring for Your Space
