Real wood flooring

Real wood flooring remains a favourite of designers and consumers alike. It’s not hard to see why. Being a natural product, each board of a real wood floor is always unique in the way the patterns of the grains and knots emerge. Meaning when you buy a real wood floor, those tones are only yours, and can be found nowhere else. On top of this, real wood flooring is the most eco friendly of any flooring option. Our wood floors are 94-99% recyclable.
