Wide Planks 

When it comes to choosing engineered wood flooring, plank width can dramatically influence the overall look and feel of your space. Wide plank engineered wood flooring offers a timeless elegance, creating a sense of openness and sophistication that narrower boards simply can’t achieve. Whether you’re designing a modern open-plan interior or restoring a traditional property, the width of your floorboards plays a key role in how your room feels and flows.

How wide is wide enough?

Selecting the ideal board width depends on the proportions of your room, natural light, and the aesthetic you want to achieve. Wider planks reduce the number of visible seams, giving the illusion of more space and allowing the natural grain of the wood to take centre stage. They create a calm, seamless appearance that feels luxurious underfoot.

At Waxed Floors, we offer a versatile range of widths from 140mm up to 300mm, available in both rustic and premium grades: Rustic A and Premier. Our wider boards are engineered for stability, making them suitable for underfloor heating and ensuring they perform beautifully in both residential and commercial settings.

The character of wide planks

Each wide plank engineered oak floor tells its own story. Larger boards showcase the full beauty of the oak grain — from delicate cathedrals and knots to rich tonal variations that develop over time. For rustic interiors, wider planks emphasise natural imperfections for a heritage feel. In contemporary designs, a clean Premier grade wide plank delivers sleek lines and understated luxury.

Expert craftsmanship

Every Waxed Floors board is meticulously crafted using advanced engineering methods and natural oil finishes that enhance depth, texture, and durability. Our oils penetrate deep into the grain, maintaining the authentic look of solid oak while ensuring lasting performance. The result is a floor that feels grounded, characterful, and perfectly proportioned for your interior.

Design harmony and practicality

Wide plank engineered flooring works beautifully in both large open spaces and smaller rooms. In spacious environments, it creates continuity and elegance; in compact spaces, the broader boards can actually make the area appear larger by reducing visual clutter. With our range of tones and finishes, from lightly brushed neutrals to deep smoked shades, it’s easy to find the perfect balance between natural warmth and modern design.

Bring your vision to life

There’s something truly special about a carefully considered wide plank floor — one that elevates your interior and enhances its architectural lines. At Waxed Floors, our experienced team can guide you through choosing the right board width, finish, and grade to complement your space.
