| Nothing rivals hardwood flooring to add an atmosphere of warmth and richness to a home. Whether it is the classic feel of Oak or the unmistakeable appearance of Elm. Coillte Wood Products can offer a hardwood flooring solution to enhance any living space.
A typical Irish Hardwood floor has a lively and individual appearance due to variations in colour, grain, and timber characteristics that are a distinctive feature of home grown hardwoods. Among those species offered by Coillte are oak, ash, elm, spanish chestnut and beech. Because timber is a natural material, appearances can vary considerably even within a species. Therefore no two floors look exactly the same, making each floor truly unique.
