Refined Elegance: York Select Oak Solid Wood

Discover the pinnacle of timber quality with York Select Oak—a premium 18mm solid wood floor featuring a cleaner, more uniform appearance for a truly sophisticated home.

While rustic floors celebrate irregularity, York Select Oak is all about refinement. Carefully harvested from the highest quality timber, "Select" grade planks feature minimal knots and a more consistent grain pattern, resulting in a floor that feels calm, elegant, and timeless. Each 18mm thick solid oak plank is treated with five coats of UV lacquer, protecting the wood's natural honey-gold hues from sunlight and daily wear while providing a smooth, lustrous finish. This is a floor built to last a lifetime, offering the unparalleled structural strength of solid timber combined with a high-end, polished aesthetic that complements both modern and traditional interiors.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

  • Acclimatisation: Critical for solid timber. Allow the wood to sit in the room of installation for 5-7 days before fitting to adapt to the local humidity.
  • Fixing: This floor must be permanently fixed. We recommend either secret-nailing into a timber subfloor or a full-surface bond (glue-down) on concrete.
  • Underfloor Heating: As a solid wood product, York Select Oak is not suitable for use with underfloor heating. For UFH-compatible floors, please see our Engineered Wood collection.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What makes "Select" grade different from "Rustic"?

Select grade is harvested from the centre of the tree, resulting in fewer knots, less sapwood, and a more uniform colour. It is considered a higher grade for those who prefer a cleaner, more contemporary look.

How often can this floor be sanded?

York Select Oak is 18mm of solid wood. Depending on how much is removed, it can generally be sanded 4-6 times over its life, allowing it to look brand new for decades.

Is UV Lacquer easy to maintain?

Yes. The UV lacquer provides a tough, smooth barrier that is easy to sweep and mop. It also helps prevent the wood from changing colour too rapidly when exposed to sunlight.

Why should I buy from a family business like Hyperion?

We offer a level of accountability and technical expertise that large chains can't. We know our products inside out and provide honest advice tailored to your specific home needs.

Does the free delivery apply to all of the UK?

We offer free delivery on orders over £300 to most UK mainland addresses. Please contact us for a quote for Highlands and Islands.
