Very noble and authentic, solid wood flooring is a rather "high-end" covering. It is made from a single type of wood and offers the advantage of being able to be sanded many times depending on its thickness.
Solid wood flooring is available in different species such as oak, beech, walnut, or even teak and bamboo for damp rooms.
