How much does a wooden floor cost including installation?

1. WOOD TYPE

The choice of wood specie and plank size largely determines the price of wooden floorboards. Tropical wood species for example, are a lot more expensive than oak. An oak floor is affordable, strong, easy to work with, has a beautiful design and low resistance.

We only use the best quality oak wood from sustainably managed forests in Europe, because of its good properties and the environmentally friendly production process. Of course, we can supply the floorboards in the wood specie of your choice upon request, but please take longer delivery times into account.

Quality wood looks beautiful, works a lot less, shows no cracks, can withstand a blow and remains beautiful for years. The thickness of the top layer of our engineered wood floor is large enough to sand and refinish the floor several times.

A custom wooden floor from Uipkes really lasts a lifetime.

2. WOOD GRADING

The wood sorting refers to the wood motif. Do you want a wood drawing without knots? Then you choose French oak. Do you want some small knots in the wood grain? Then you choose rustic French oak.

Wooden planks without knots are more expensive because these planks can only be made from a limited part of a tree. After all, knots are formed by the many branches of a tree.

3. COLOR

Uipkes has put together 90 unique colors that you can view both online and in the showrooms. You can also take sample plates home with you to see which color best suits your interior.

A wooden floor that has been treated with a color oil needs 6 months to achieve the final color due to the influence of (sun)light. As a result, the color may initially differ slightly from the chosen color.

All colors are made based on a fixed recipe. A dark colored floor becomes slightly lighter and a light wooden floor darkens slightly more in the first 6 months.

4. INSTALLATION PATTERN

Uipkes can install your wooden floor in 17 installation patterns . The rule of thumb is that the more detailed the installation pattern and smaller the floorboards, the higher the installation costs. That is why a plank floors is less expensive than a chevron floor, where each floor part requires a separate treatment.

Discover the different installation patterns:

5. INSTALLATION & DETAIL WORK

Another important choice is whether you want to install the floor yourself or have it installed. Buying wooden floorboards and installing them yourself is the most economical option. The choice also depends on the detail work.

For example, if you have convector pit grilles, a staircase that you want to cover with the same wood, a special installation pattern , round walls or if you want to saw the wooden floor without skirting boards flush against the wall, then hiring an experienced parquet installer is definitely recommended.

The best quality wood also deserves to be installed by good flooring installers to achieve the best end result. Uipkes employs its own parquet technicians who work with our wood products every day using the best tools and materials.

Origin of wood

Production forests are managed by humans themselves. Wood harvested in a production forest is more environmentally friendly than wood harvested in pristine primary forests. When forest management of a production forest takes place in a responsible and sustainable manner, flora and fauna can remain intact.

Hardness of wood

Hardness is an important characteristic for wood species . One wood specie is harder than the other. The harder the wood, the more durable the floor. How hard a floor is is measured in Janka, also known as the “Janka hardness” system (N).

This refers to the force in kg required to press a smooth steel sphere with a diameter of 11.824 mm halfway into the wood (the surface area of ​​the half steel sphere is exactly 100 mm²).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is important when buying a wooden floor?

There are several important factors to consider when purchasing a wooden floor. Some important considerations are:

  • Quality of the wood: Make sure the wood is of good quality. Choose hardwood types that are durable and wear-resistant, such as oak. Also check for any properties in the wood, such as knots, cracks or bends.
  • Sustainability: Check whether the wood comes from sustainably managed forests. Look for certifications such as FSC or PEFC, which guarantee that the wood has been harvested responsibly and that environmental standards and social aspects are taken into account.
  • Finish: Pay attention to the finish of the wooden floor. Choose finishes that are environmentally friendly, such as water-based lacquers or natural oils. These finishes generally have a lower environmental impact and contain fewer harmful chemicals.
  • Installation method: Consider the installation method of the floor. There are various options, such as floating installation or gluing. The installation method can affect the durability and maintenance of the floor, as well as its sound insulation and heat insulation.
  • Maintenance: Inquire about the required maintenance of the wooden floor. Some wood species require more maintenance than others. Consider whether you are willing to invest the time and effort required to keep the floor in good condition.
  • Warranty: Check the warranty conditions of the wooden floor. A good warranty provides peace of mind and can indicate that the manufacturer is confident in the quality and durability of the product.
  • Cost: Compare the costs of different wood flooring options. Take into account not only the initial purchase price, but also the durability and lifespan of the floor. A more expensive, but high-quality and durable product can save costs in the long term.

When purchasing a wood floor, it is important to keep these considerations in mind and gather information to make an informed decision that suits your needs, budget and environmental preferences.
