With fewer joins between the planks they’re much easier and more relaxing on the eye. They make the decor seem less ornate and fussy.

Wide floorboards are ideal for period restorations and prestige new builds. They create an expansive mood, evoking a sense of old world substance, calm and confidence.

They’re also great for making small rooms seem larger.

You probably wouldn’t want them in a room where you’re planning to cover most of the floor with a large rug or carpet. It would be a waste.

Availability and Options

We can supply almost all of the hardwood and fir finishes you see on this website as wide and extra wide plank (300mm) floorboards.

We supply them in random lengths of up to 3 metres.

Besides the finishes you see here, we can also make approximately 1500 different colours to order.

Where you want new floorboards to blend with older surroundings we can manually distress or age them. This makes them indistinguishable from antique or reclaimed flooring.

History of Wide Plank Wood Flooring in Britain

Wide plank wood floors hark back to the Tudor, Jacobean and Baroque periods – the late 1400s, 1500s and 1600s.

Along with velvet, satin, silk and beeswax candles, wide floorboards were a hallmark of wealth and power.

From the Georgian period onward as the cost of raw timber begain to increase, the width of floorboards began to shrink.

The Wide Wood Flooring Renaissance 

Wide plank wood flooring has enjoyed a resurgence in recent times thanks to big advances in engineered floorboard production.

A key feature of engineered floorboards is that they allow for much more economical use of the valuable top layer of hardwood.

Scarcity aside, a good quality engineered plywood base beneath a hardwood or fir top layer is far superior to a solid timber floorboard.

Solid wide floors were especially prone to warping and splitting.

Changes in ambient humidity cause the wood to expand or shrink which results in the common problems of ‘crowning’ and ‘cupping’.

As such, they’re wholly unsuited for rooms with central or underfloor heating, or bathrooms and kitchens.

By contrast, wide engineered floorboards are very stable. They work well in kitchens, bathrooms, attics and even heated conservatories and orangeries.
