Oak Flooring, and wood flooring in general, is susceptible to changes in humidity and temperature which can cause the boards to expand and contract. Typically with a new oak floor, the boards are left for a set amount of time to acclimatise to the surroundings so they are more stable once laid.
However, left under these conditions for extended periods can lead to the boards "over acclimatising" - resulting in expansion or contraction to different sizes. This can cause major issues when fitting. Our recommendation would typically be to never take a delivery of your oak flooring until you are truly ready and close to the fitting process.
In today's world we know that this is not always possible, meaning you may need to take the delivery long before required. There may also be occasions where you lay some oak flooring boards, but want to save the rest for a different area at a later date.
Our Stretch Shrinkwrap Film provides an effective solution for protecting your oak flooring from these conditions allowing you to store the boards for use later on in your project. As the wrap which we use ourselves in our own stores, it allows you to store our oak flooring on site without the fear of the boards over acclimatising.
This shrink-wrap has been specially formulated and manufactured under close tolerances to give optimum wrapping performances with high strength and tear properties.

More Information
Solid oak flooring has been a staple in homes down the ages and was probably used by the very first peoples to settle in Europe. It's not surprising really, when you think about how durable, easy to work and downright beautiful solid oak can be. In the days of yore, most of the flooring would have been green oak and installed at the same time as the construction of the dwelling, but over time, air drying and kiln drying became more popular as understanding of the properties of oak grew. These days, all solid oak flooring is kiln dried to a moisture content of between 8% and 12% to minimise movement in the wood as humidity levels change. "From oak tree to oak floor" Once a suitably sized oak tree has been felled, the main trunk is "cleaned up" by having all of its branches removed to produce what is called a "round". These oak rounds are then made available to sawmills, timber merchants and flooring producers to select the best for their purposes. Choosing a good round for flooring...
Engineered oak flooring is essentially a veneer of solid oak bonded to a hardwood ply backing to form a floor board almost indistinguishable from a solid oak board once laid. As with our solid oak flooring, the machining precision of our engineered boards is top notch, providing you with a smooth, even floor. The great benefit of engineered oak flooring is its stability - it's ideal for use over underfloor heating or in rooms liable to have water splashing such as kitchens and bathrooms. Why Buy Your Engineered Oak Flooring From Peak Oak? Each of our engineered oak boards has an oak veneer produced from one plank of oak, not made up of small strips.
