How to choose your Elka floor
Elka’s engineered boards come in a range of overall thicknesses, from 12.5mm up to 20mm, each with a genuine oak wear layer that can be sanded and refinished over time. Finishes include brushed & oiled, UV brushed & oiled, UV lacquered and washed & smoked, in styles from rustic and enhanced oak through to herringbone patterns.
The stable multi-layer core keeps movement to a minimum, so Elka is a safe choice over underfloor heating and in rooms with fluctuating humidity, and it suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, hallways and conservatories.
