Commercial Wood Flooring

Engineered oak for offices, retail, restaurants, hotels and show homes. Real timber that stands up to footfall, can be refinished instead of replaced, and is specified, sampled and delivered to your programme.

Short answer: Engineered oak suits offices, shops, restaurants and hotels when it has a commercial-grade lacquer or hardwax oil, the right grade for the look you want, and matched stock across phases. It is glued down for stability and can be refinished on site later, which keeps lifetime costs low. Updated October 2026 by the LIGNORA flooring team

Where it works

Real oak in spaces people use every day.

Offices

Receptions and workspaces

A calm, natural floor for receptions, meeting rooms and studios, with acoustic underlay where the building needs it.

Retail

Shops and showrooms

Wide plank or herringbone to set the tone of a space, in finishes chosen for footfall.

Hospitality

Restaurants, bars and hotels

Oak that takes daily traffic and can be maintained in sections without closing the whole space.

Specified for footfall

The right board and finish for the traffic.

What we specify

Engineered construction for stability over concrete, screed and underfloor heating
Hard-wearing lacquered finishes for the lowest upkeep, or hardwax oil where local repair matters
A thick oak wear layer, so the floor can be sanded and refinished rather than replaced — see 20mm engineered oak
Acoustic underlay or glue-down build-ups to suit the building
Matching stair nosings, thresholds and trims — see trims and thresholds

Commercial Wood Flooring,
Answered

The questions we are asked most often.

Ask Us Anything →

Is engineered oak suitable for commercial use?

Yes, with the right finish and maintenance. A hard-wearing lacquer or hardwax oil and entrance matting keep it looking right, and the oak wear layer can be refinished when needed.

Which finish is best for a commercial floor?

Lacquer gives the lowest day-to-day upkeep; hardwax oil allows worn areas to be repaired locally. We recommend one based on the traffic and the cleaning regime.

Can you supply across several phases?

Yes. We plan stock so later phases and floors match the first.

Do you fit commercial floors?

In London our in-house team can supply and fit. Elsewhere we supply to your contractor. Want it fitted too? Tell us about your project and we'll talk you through the options.

Ask us about
your floor.

Send us a photo of the room and tell us about the subfloor and heating, and we will recommend the right board. Or order free samples to see them at home.
