Broadleaf Flooring Design Studio Truro Cornwall

BROWSE OUR wood flooring collections

Conveniently located in the centre of Truro, our new Flooring Design Studio showcases our complete range of beautiful wood flooring and provides unrivalled choice and inspiration for residential and commercial projects alike.

There is no better place to choose wood flooring in Cornwall. From gently aged, solid vintage oak parquet to majestic wide engineered oak planks, you’ll find a wood floor to suit every style, all designed and made in Wales. Our generous displays make it easy to picture how different floors will look in situ and to compare different options.

Plank and parquet floors are both beautiful, but if you like both and don’t know which to choose, the following might help you.

Plank floors are quicker and easier to install than parquet, which means that they will be less expensive to install. They are also a simpler DIY option. That said, parquet floors have an undeniable wow factor, and create a feature all on their own. This is one of the reasons that they are such a popular choice for hallways, which can often be difficult to furnish due to their size and the need to be able to move through them freely.

Herringbone parquet is also a great solution for unusually shaped rooms such as L shapes or those entered from more than one direction, as the pattern works both ways, whereas plank floors tend to look better in one direction or another.
