The engineered plank is the quiet workhorse of a good interior — a wide, single board of real oak that lets the grain and the finish do the talking. Our wide-plank engineered oak is the floor most Cambridge homes start with, and the one most designers return to.
A wide board reads as calm and generous. Fewer joints across a room means a cleaner plane, a stronger sense of space, and grain that runs in long, uninterrupted lengths. It is the most forgiving floor to live on and the easiest to extend through a whole house for a seamless flow.
Each board is a thick wear layer of genuine oak bonded to a multi-ply or hardwood core. That construction is what keeps a wide board flat where a solid plank of the same width would cup or gap with the seasons — and it is what makes engineered oak the right choice over underfloor heating.
Boards are typically supplied around 180–260 mm wide and up to 2.2 m long, brushed to lift the grain and finished in matt lacquer or natural oil. Tones run from pale raw oak through honeyed naturals to smoked and grey-washed.
A brushed, matt-lacquered board is hard-wearing and low-maintenance — ideal for kitchens and busy family rooms. An oiled board has a more natural, tactile surface that can be spot-repaired. Planks suit almost every room, from a living room to an open-plan kitchen-diner, and pair naturally with a matching stair for a continuous look.

Engineered oak stays flat across wide boards and copes with underfloor heating and humidity changes, while still giving you a genuine oak surface that can be sanded and refinished. Our guide on engineered vs solid wood flooring explains the trade-offs in detail.
Most of our planks sit in the 180–260 mm range. Wider boards make a room feel calmer and more spacious, but the right width depends on the size of the room — we will advise when we measure.
Yes. The genuine oak wear layer allows for at least one or two careful sand-and-refinish cycles over the life of the floor, depending on the board.
