The Showroom Problem: Wood is a Living Product
Real oak reacts to its environment. Its knots, swirls, and tannin variations look completely different under home LEDs than they do in a warehouse. Choosing an investment this significant requires a home viewing.
Engineered vs. Solid Wood: The Technical Truth
We don’t sell “Solid Wood” because we don’t believe in selling floors that fail. In a modern home with central heating, solid timber is a liability—it cups, gaps, and warps.
Our Engineered Wood features the same 100% natural oak surface you love, but it’s built on a multi-ply core for maximum stability. It looks identical to solid wood but handles the UK’s humidity changes without the drama.
Expert Engineered Wood Solutions across Wiltshire
We understand the specific subfloor challenges and architectural styles found across the region—from managing the moisture levels in Swindon new-builds with underfloor heating to the uneven timber joists and expansion requirements of period cottages in Marlborough and the character properties of Chippenham.
Select your location for local specialist advice and availability:
-
Flooring & Carpets in Swindon – Specialists in wide-plank engineered oak and low-tog underlays designed for maximum thermal efficiency with modern UFH systems.
-
Flooring & Carpets in Marlborough – Expertise in structural subfloor reinforcement for older homes and the master-fitting of heritage herringbone and chevron parquetry.
-
Flooring & Carpets in Chippenham – Professional supply and installation of high-grade timber floors, focusing on precision micro-expansion gaps and architectural door-trimming.
We don’t just “deliver” wood; we understand Wiltshire’s local humidity levels and building styles, ensuring your engineered timber floor is correctly acclimatised and engineered to last in your specific environment.
Installation as Engineering: The Avana Wood Standard
Unlike laminate, real wood moves. If it isn’t “acclimatised” and fitted with mechanical precision, it will squeak or gap. This is the difference between a floor that buckles and one that becomes an heirloom.
- Laser-Levelling: We identify and fix the subfloor dips that cause “bounce.”
- The “Built-In” Aesthetic: Our master-fitters undercut your door frames, sliding the wood underneath for a seamless, professional finish.
- Acoustic Management: We use high-density, rubber-crumb underlays or full-bond adhesives that absorb impact noise, creating a quiet, solid environment.
The Foundation: Floating vs. Full-Bond & UFH
- Floating on Acoustic Underlay: Ideal for timber joists or upstairs rooms where noise reduction is the priority.
- Full-Bond (Stick Down) & UFH: The premium standard for ground floors. We bond the wood directly to the subfloor using professional silane adhesives. This is the most efficient method for Underfloor Heating, ensuring maximum heat transfer and zero “bounce.”
The Edging Dilemma: Scotia, Skirting, or Seamless Transitions
Every wood floor needs an expansion gap at the perimeter. How you hide it defines the quality of the job:
- Solid Wood Scotia (Beading): Genuine hardwood beading, colour-matched to your specific batch of oak.
- Skirting Refit (The Seamless Look): We can carefully remove your existing skirting boards, install the wood underneath, and then refit (or replace) the skirting for a “no-trim” finish.
- Matching Perimeter Trims: Bespoke “End-Profiles” for bi-fold doors and hearths that are technically sound but visually invisible.
Plank or Parquet: Defining Your Space
- Wide-Board Planks: Ideal for making smaller rooms feel expansive. We help you choose between Prime Grade (clean, modern) and Rustic Grade (natural character/knots).
- Herringbone & Chevron: The ultimate “Designer” finish. Parquet adds architectural character to entrance halls and focal lounges.
The Specs That Actually Matter
- The Wear Layer: We provide 3mm to 6mm top layers. Your floor can be sanded and refinished multiple times over the next 50 years.
- Architectural Door Bars: Designer thresholds in Wood Colour Match, Antique Brass, Brushed Chrome, and Matte Black. No flimsy silver strips allowed.

- Furniture Moving: We handle the sofas, dining tables, and sideboards.
- Uplift & Disposal: We remove your old carpets or tiles and leave your home vacuumed.
