Solid or engineered wood — what’s the best choice?
Can I order a custom color?

Which oak species should I choose?
European oak delivers warm honey hues and intricate grain, while American oak is typically redder with linear grain. French oak, a premium European variant, features dense tannins and refined grain—perfect for an elegant, high‑end finish .
What plank width suits my home?
Wider planks (140–300 mm) exude luxury and enhance spaciousness, while narrower boards offer a more traditional feel. Your choice should complement the room’s proportions: wider for large, open layouts; narrower for hallways or smaller rooms .
Can I install wood flooring in kitchens or baths?
