Element7 has an enviable reputation for supplying and installing the finest engineered wide plank floors.

Today’s discerning clientele demands exceptional wood flooring that combines classic or contemporary style, with the most up-to-date wood technology and performance characteristics.

Wide single-face planks (6 to 15”, or 155 to 340mm) are, without doubt, the most beautiful wood flooring option available.

However, when choosing a wood floor, one must look further than simple aesthetics:

The changing seasons, combined with various heating systems, subject today’s environments to quite extreme changes in temperature and humidity; when subjected to these changes, non-engineered solid wood floors tend to gap, cup and warp - ill effects that can usually be seen within one to three years of installation.

To overcome such problems solid wood must be precision engineered and, to do this correctly, an intimate understanding of wood and its properties is essential.

The engineering techniques used in Element7 wide plank, sets a world class standard and planks are available in up to 340mm widths and 5metre lengths.

There is a comprehensive range of woods and different finishes to choose from to create your own fabulous floor.

Pictured here is a spectacular floor in Brushed Fired Oak, priced from around £107per sq. metre.

There is a helpful advice and a gallery of examples on their website.

Now that the Uk has fallen out of love with bathroom carpets - what are the alternatives? Well, there’s vinyl, tiles or stone - but not wood.

Suggest wooden floors in a bathroom and you’re likely to be met with much sucking of teeth. “Oooh I wouldn’t do that - you’ll get shrinkage or cupping, gapping or splitting. It’s the humidity you see…”

But now, Italian company Listone Giordano claim to have found a solution - by combining a fine hardwood layer with a marine birch ply support base. Listone Giordano say that this is more stable and durable than any other hardwood floor on the market, and they’re so confident, they’re even recommending it for installation in bathrooms and kitchens.

The range includes 15 species of timber (the picture is of Cabreuva), available in several hardwearing finishes.

Prices start from £51 per square metre.
