Evolve Westminster Engineered Oak Flooring

Evolve Westminster steps up the Evolve range's build quality with a thicker 5mm oak top layer over an 18mm engineered core, giving it more scope for long-term sanding and refinishing than the entry-level ranges. Available in 125mm and 150mm widths, it keeps a straightforward, versatile look while offering a sturdier construction underneath. With natural and wheat-toned finishes across both lacquered and oiled options, it's built as a dependable mid-to-premium choice for a range of interiors.

Key Features

• 5mm oak top layer over an 18mm engineered core, offering solid scope for sanding and refinishing over the floor's lifetime
• Two plank widths — 125mm and 150mm — for a versatile, straightforward look
• Finish choice across UV Lacquered, Brushed & Lacquered and Brushed & Oiled
• Natural and Wheat tone options, giving a subtle choice in warmth
• Compatible with underfloor heating, suiting renovated or newly built rooms
• Sandable and refinishable multiple times, thanks to the thicker top layer

Build and Finish

The 5mm top layer sits well above the 3mm layer found on entry-level engineered boards, giving Westminster meaningfully more scope for sanding back and refinishing over the years. The UV Lacquered and Brushed & Lacquered finishes seal the surface for everyday durability, while the Brushed & Oiled option soaks into the wood for a softer, more natural feel that's easier to spot-repair. The Wheat tone adds a touch more warmth than the Natural option, without moving into a heavily stained or smoked look.

Where Westminster Works Best

• Family homes and high-traffic areas — the thicker top layer stands up well to daily wear
• Long-term installations — built to be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan
• Classic, understated interiors — the natural and wheat tones suit a range of traditional and contemporary spaces alike
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces
