What Makes Wooden Flooring ‘Premium’ — and Do You Really Have to Pay More?
Premium wooden flooring is typically associated with expensive branded collections, exotic hardwoods, and complex finishes. However, premium quality can also come from well-sourced materials, expert design, and attention to detail during installation. That is exactly what Alba Flooring offers across its wooden flooring range.
Our in-house selection includes engineered wood, solid wood, chevron blocks, parquet, and unfinished designs ideal for bespoke finishes. These are curated to meet the same standards you’d expect from premium brands but offered at more accessible price points. As leading flooring suppliers and installers, we ensure that quality isn’t defined solely by the price tag.

Our showroom at 574 Wickham Road, Shirley, CR0 8DN is home to over 100 full-sized display boards showcasing our diverse wood styles, grains, and finishes.
