Wide Plank Flooring

Wide Plank Wood
Flooring, London.

Wide plank flooring — boards from 180mm to 400mm — is the quietest statement a floor can make. Fewer joints, longer runs, more grain. Engineered oak in wide format supplied and installed by LIGNORA across London and the South East, in standard and bespoke widths.

The Case for Width
Why Wide Plank
Works

A narrow board floor draws attention to itself through repetition — the eye tracks the joints. A wide board floor shows you the wood. The grain, the figure, the character of the oak becomes visible in a way that is impossible at 90mm.

Wide plank also scales correctly to larger rooms. A 90mm board in a 60m² open-plan space has more joints than the room needs. A 190mm or 220mm board settles the room and lets the architecture read without competition from the floor.

Engineered construction makes wide plank practical in a way that solid wood is not. At 220mm+ in solid, seasonal movement creates unacceptable gapping in centrally heated homes. At the same width in engineered, with a multi-ply core, the floor remains stable year-round.

Installation Considerations
What Wide Plank
Requires
01
Subfloor Flatness

Wide boards amplify subfloor imperfections that narrow boards would disguise. We assess and prepare the subfloor before any wide plank installation — typically to a tolerance of no more than 3mm deviation over 1800mm. This is non-negotiable for boards over 180mm.

02
Acclimatisation

Wide engineered boards require a minimum of 72 hours acclimatisation in the property before installation — in the room they will be laid in, at the temperature the room will be maintained at. We schedule this into every installation. It is not optional at these widths.

03
UFH & Adhesive

All wide plank formats in our collection are underfloor heating compatible. For wide boards above UFH, we specify a flexible adhesive system that accommodates the thermal movement of the substrate. The adhesive specification matters as much as the board at this width.
