The Solid Wood Flooring, Company

The Solid Wood Flooring Company manufactures unique hardwood flooring products with the best managed forest timber products. We will not purchase or machine any timber from the rain forests, such as Teak etc. A good managed forest will plant more trees than it harvests and in North America, parts of Russia and even China this is very much the case. We do not have many of our deciduous forests left now so oak in the UK is in short supply. All our products are unique to us as they are made to our exacting specification and are British quality controlled. We now have three main manufacturing facilities specialising in our solid and engineered flooring range. The two main facilities are FSC certified to ensure that all our products are sourced ethically with the environment in mind. The third facility is for the manufacture of Bamboo which is harvested every 5 to 6 years from managed plantations. As this is a product of the grass family there is no FSC requirement and it is the greenest of our flooring options helping the environment more than trees. Wooden flooring products are just like us, every tree is individual and unique as this is how nature works. The grain and colour variation on any single species of tree will be different, just like every human being is different. Even identical twins will have personality differences even though they may look alike. The seasons and climate changes will have an impact on trees and can alter their hue, colour and structure. We pride ourselves on the service we offer and being a family company work on the principles of high quality products, good service and competitive pricing. Martyn Ryder established the company after extensive research into the flooring marketing and in particular wood flooring. In general the quality of cheap imports and lack of home grown products meant there was an opportunity to develop high quality hardwood flooring jointly with interior designers and Architects.
