British Hardwoods, manufacturer of oak and hardwood flooring in West Yorkshire

British Hardwoods is a British manufacturer of wood flooring and hardwood timber products. The company presents itself as one of the country's leading manufacturers in its segment and produces both solid and engineered flooring, as well as an extensive range of wood accessories. All the timber it uses comes from FSC or PEFC certified suppliers, according to the company itself.

The firm has a 17,500 square foot heated factory and 30 years of manufacturing experience. Its range is supplied to customers throughout the UK and is complemented by a showroom in West Yorkshire, from which it serves areas such as Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and York.

Specialisation in oak and other hardwoods

Oak is at the heart of its catalogue, with solid and engineered flooring in different species, finishes and grades. In addition to oak, it works with walnut, ash, maple, cherry, beech, yew, sycamore and elm, among other timbers. The company describes itself as an oak specialist and sells single-piece boards, wide and long, with precise machining and factory-acclimatised for installation.

Solid wood flooring

The solid range includes European oak in prime, classic, character, rustic and provincial grades, with brushed, fumed, aged and distressed finishes, and light, medium and dark shade options. It also offers walnut, ash, maple and cherry flooring. The solid floors are presented as single-piece boards, precision-machined and ready for installation.

Engineered flooring

The engineered floors combine wide single-piece boards with a generous top layer of real wood. They are designed for use with underfloor heating systems and offer greater stability, making them suitable for bathrooms and kitchens. The company has structural grade versions that can be installed directly onto joists or battens. They are available in 16 mm and 20 mm thicknesses, in light, medium and dark oak, and in brushed, fumed and aged finishes.

Herringbone and other collections

The catalogue includes herringbone flooring, an option for parquet floors due to its structural properties. The company has also recently announced the addition of a prime grade solid oak floor and an engineered herringbone oak floor.
