Your Guide to Choosing the Right Wood Flooring
Whether you're updating a single room or undertaking a full property refurbishment, selecting the right type of wood flooring can significantly enhance the style, comfort, and value of your home. At Alba Flooring, we help homeowners across London make informed decisions with expert advice, premium products, and flawless installation.
Solid Wood vs Engineered Wood Flooring:
Solid Wood Flooring
Crafted from a single piece of hardwood such as oak, walnut, or maple, solid wood flooring offers unmatched durability, natural beauty, and the ability to be sanded and refinished multiple times. It’s a perfect choice for living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where timeless appeal and longevity matter.
Engineered Wood Flooring
Engineered wood features a real hardwood veneer layered over a high-performance plywood or fibreboard core. This structure provides excellent stability, making it ideal for moisture-prone areas like kitchens, conservatories, and basements. Engineered wood flooring combines the elegance of solid wood with added resilience and versatility.
Popular Wood Floor Finishes
Choosing the right finish can dramatically influence the overall look and feel of your space. Alba Flooring offers a wide selection of finishes to suit every interior style:
Lacquered – Smooth, glossy, and easy to clean; ideal for modern homes.
Brushed & Oiled – Highlights the wood’s natural grain and texture for a rustic effect.
UV Oiled – A contemporary matte finish with enhanced durability.
Distressed – Adds a vintage, lived-in character perfect for period properties.
Whitewashed – Lightens up your interiors, great for Scandinavian-inspired design schemes.
Professional Wood Flooring Installation Methods
The right installation method is crucial to the longevity and performance of your wood flooring. At Alba Flooring, we assess your subfloor, room function, and flooring type before recommending the best approach:
Floating Floor Installation – Quick and efficient; perfect for engineered wood and laminate floors.
Glue-Down Installation – Offers maximum stability and acoustic insulation; ideal for busy households and commercial spaces.
Nail-Down Installation – Traditional method for solid wood flooring, providing a robust and long-lasting fit.
