Explore Different Solid Oak Flooring Finishes
The Core Collection includes several finishes to help you achieve your preferred look. Natural oak flooring offers a timeless appearance, while golden oak and golden smoked finishes bring extra warmth and depth to a room.
Brushed and oiled oak flooring highlights the natural grain and texture of the timber. UV lacquered and matt lacquered finishes provide a different surface appearance, making them worth considering when choosing flooring for your home. For a more rustic style, handscraped oak boards with distressed edges add character and visual detail.
The collection also includes unfinished solid oak flooring, which can be considered when you want to choose a suitable finishing treatment for your project. Always check the individual product specifications and installation guidance before making your selection.
Choose the Right Width and Style for Your Home
Finding the right solid wood flooring involves more than choosing a colour. The width of the boards can influence the overall appearance of your room. The 90mm boards offer a narrower, traditional look, while the 125mm and 150mm options create a broader floorboard appearance.
Several products are available in various lengths, while selected boards have a specified length of 300mm. Check each product listing for its exact dimensions, finish and current price before ordering.
WoodFloors4U offers a selection of solid oak flooring options backed by a stated 20-year warranty and FSC certification. Review the relevant product information and warranty terms to understand the coverage for your chosen floor.
When planning your flooring project, remember to allow for cutting and fitting waste. Compare suitable products, calculate the area you need and check the installation requirements to help you choose the right flooring for your space.

Consider your room size, interior style and preferred appearance. The 90mm boards create a narrower, traditional look, while 125mm and 150mm boards provide a wider floorboard style. Ordering samples, where available, can help you compare finishes and colours.
5. How much solid oak flooring should I order?
Measure the total floor area in square metres and add an allowance for cutting and fitting waste. Around 5–10% extra is a common starting point for straightforward layouts, although more may be needed for complex rooms or particular laying patterns. Check pack quantities and product dimensions before ordering.
