Elm

Our Elm floors are some of the most beautiful floors we do. These are engineered floors, with Elm veneers, finished with Hard Wax oils. They are made bespoke, so are available in almost any width, or grade.

As with all our premium floors, we don’t post out samples; you can’t judge these floors based on small samples. If you’d like to see one of our large sample boards, either at our showroom or at your property, then get in touch.

This is a made to order floor. Please allow 8 to 12 weeks for delivery from order.

All prices include VAT. Contact info@kite-flooring.com if you need extra help ordering.
Description

Why we like it?

  • Elm flooring is one of the most beautiful floors available, with swirling cathedral grains.
  • These floors are engineered, with an Elm veneer, and then a layer core, giving stability.
  • Like Oak, it has similar hardwearing properties. These floors are finished with a Hard Wax oil delivering the ultimate protection.
  • Available in a Prime grade, with very few knots, and a Rustic option.
  • Available in 180mm to 300mm widths. Planks are up to 2.6m in length.

Why you should look elsewhere?

There are very few reasons to not like Elm flooring.

Perhaps the only one is it’s more expensive than our standard Oak floors. But not as expensive as some of our most expensive ones. Expect to pay c£100 + vat for an entry-level Elm floor.

This floor is only available in straight board (it’s how we keep costs down…). Chevron or Herringbone in an equivalent finish are possible, but would be a bespoke floor (in fact… a seriously epic bespoke floor!).

People will keep telling you, “your floor is so beautiful, I can’t stop staring at it”. This may become annoying after a while, but you will grow to love it.
