Those interested in maple flooring may be attracted by the Engineered European Maple Flooring 3 Strip Lacquer floor from Florence.
Coming in the customary pale wood shade of maple, this item has planks of 207 mm width and 15 mm thickness, while the edges are square rather than bevelled for a smooth look.
The three-strip configuration has slats overlapping each other like bricks in a wall, while the top hardwood layer is 3.2 mm thick and can be sanded up to four times.
It is topped off by a stain lacquer, which reflects the light and makes the floor harder, while the family grade wood shows off some natural markings like lines and knots, but not sapwood or streaks.
Buyers are covered by a warranty on this floor which lasts for 30 years.
Those looking for a three-strip engineered floor can also choose from a number of other species of wood.
Florence's range in this category includes beech oak, walnut, tali, wenge and iroko.
