Solid wood and engineered wood flooring are natural products, meaning every plank is unique. Variations in colour, grain, texture, knots, and markings are completely normal and are part of the floor's natural character.
Rustic-grade floors will often display more knots and natural features, creating an authentic and distinctive appearance. To achieve the best overall look, we recommend opening several packs during installation and mixing the planks to evenly distribute colour and pattern variations throughout the room.
looring can vary slightly between manufacturing batches, especially natural wood products and certain laminate, vinyl, and LVT ranges. If you're looking to extend an existing floor, we recommend contacting our sales team before placing your order.
We'll do our best to check batch availability and advise whether a suitable match is available. While exact colour matching cannot always be guaranteed, we'll help you find the closest possible match to your existing flooring.
Solid Wood Flooring Questions
We do not recommend installing Solid Wood Flooring in bathrooms or other areas exposed to high levels of moisture. As a natural material, solid wood can expand, contract, or warp when subjected to excessive humidity or standing water.
While pre-finished solid wood flooring offers a degree of surface protection and can withstand occasional splashes or spills if cleaned up promptly, it is not designed for environments with regular moisture exposure. For bathrooms, we recommend considering LVT, SPC, or other waterproof flooring options, which are better suited to wet areas.

Laminate flooring is designed to click together, making it easy for DIY enthusiasts. No specialist is needed, but hiring a professional can ensure a perfect installation.
We recommend allowing a minimum of 48 hours (2 days) for laminate flooring to acclimatise. Place it in the room where it will be installed and lay it flat to avoid damage. You can stack packs if needed to save space.
Vinyl Flooring Questions
Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVTs) are individual vinyl tiles reinforced with a stone-based backing, making them exceptionally durable. They come in various colors and designs, including those that replicate the look of real wood and stone, providing an affordable alternative to solid and engineered wood.
Vinyl tiles are composed of several thin layers of PVC vinyl, which are treated with various compounds, compressed, and dried using heat and air. This process creates a hard, resilient surface. The top layer may be embossed to mimic the appearance of real wood or stone, and the tiles are finished with a decorative and protective layer.
The key difference lies in their composition. Rigid Core vinyl is made from a mix of polymers, while SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring includes limestone and stabilisers, creating a more robust core. SPC offers slightly better impact resistance compared to Rigid Core.
Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVTs) are highly durable, resistant to scratches, spills, and stains, and can imitate natural wood and stone. They are available in various patterns and colors, including options not commonly found in traditional wood floors, giving you a broader selection.
Yes, vinyl tiles work well with underfloor heating because they are thin and allow heat to transfer efficiently. Ensure you check the maximum temperature compatible with your vinyl to avoid any issues.
LVT flooring is low-maintenance and easy to clean. Regular sweeping and mopping with a damp cloth will keep it in excellent condition. Avoid waxing or shining, as it could damage the floor’s protective layer.
Yes, LVT is ideal for bathrooms due to its waterproof, slip-resistant, and easy-to-clean properties. It’s also softer and warmer underfoot compared to stone or ceramic tiles, and more cost-effective.
Absolutely! LVT is perfect for kitchens, where spills and stains are common. It’s easy to clean and pairs well with underfloor heating.
Vinyl flooring is very durable and can last a long time with proper care. All our LVT flooring comes with a 25-year warranty, ensuring long-lasting quality.
Most of our LVT flooring comes with pre-attached underlay. Additional underlay is usually unnecessary, but if added, it should be no thicker than 2mm to prevent potential damage.
Vinyl flooring is designed to be hardwearing and resistant to damage from everyday use. It is scratch-resistant and waterproof, suitable for households with kids and pets.
Yes, you can glue the joints if needed, but it's generally not required. If you notice excess movement after installation, gluing the joints at the edges can help. Do not glue our click-fit vinyl tiles except at the joints. Refer to our installation guides for detailed instructions.
Vinyl tiles can be installed on various surfaces, including concrete, plywood, and existing linoleum, laminate, or tiles. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level for the best results.
